Did FIRST mess up the game element drawings?

Thanks!

One thing we've noticed after having built the team field elements, the width of the team version of the defenses is shorter than the competition ones. We noticed this when trying to set up a full field, and the spacing just didn't line up properly.

The team platforms are 48" (the width of a standard plywood sheet) while the competition platforms are 52.5" wide.

Have you been putting in the side shield spacers between elements?

That didn't include them. They're functionally 3/8" thick, from what I can gather from the field drawings. We're making adapter pieces to make up the missing width and hold the shields between the defenses
