What if...

Well the PNW still has all of our game specific field elements since there are 3 off season events still coming. Now of course we are likely going to recycle them before kickoff. I did hear from a FTA that he was told that we should keep the human player barrier for potential reuse in future years. Of course they aren't really that game specific since it is more or less a guard rail and we've always had restrictions on the human player's body parts not breaking the plain of the field perimeter. They may not reuse the portion at the center of the field but I could see the portion at the driver's station being used from time to time.

On the other hand I bet FIRST has already sent most or all of this year's game specific elements to be recycled since the reality is that they just don't have that much storage area that they could stock pile elements from multiple seasons.

The trusses were rentals and are industry standard parts so it wouldn't be a big deal to rent them again.
