  • The robot lowering the middle barrier after autonomous.
    G9 forbids this; it is in effect the whole match.
  • Damaging the field/game pieces.
    Yes, I'll extend G9. I'll also add a general "hazardous construction" R11.
  • A simpler way to move the robots to and from the field. My thought was to add a small "door" to both sides of the field.
    I considered both one and two door designs, but I opted for simplicity in construction while dependably keeping the robot inside the field. Between the smaller robot and the handles, I don't think moving the will be too difficult. This will be even easier in two-robot tournaments like ours; most of the transits can be made through the gap in the central barrier. For two-robot tournaments, the robots will only have to go over the wall for drilling, cutting, and jobs that really call for the robot to be on a table. When a robot is in consecutive matches, battery replacement and minor repairs/adjustments can be done on the field; that's why up to four team members are allowed on the field at a time. If we do add doors, finding some way to secure the walls to the carpet will be essential.
