I suggest tightening that net up, a lot, as soon as you can, including figuring out a way to bring it inside the frame perimeter whenever you want to. It's probably going to be an entangling magnet. Considering that just about every robot out there is taller than its bumpers, you're asking for trouble.


On the other hand, this is also going to depend a bit on the inspectors and refs. After the first entanglement call, you're probably going to be back at inspection until it's fixed.
Exactly, we let it drop in the beginning of the match, but we don't have time to make a mechanism to reel it back in. Do you think that it would help to put a transparent sheet of something to cover the net (so that the net is still functional, it doesn't tangle the robots nor does it block the view of drivers)?
