It's probably more than 20% for most teams since this isn't being conveyed in a Team Update until Friday, which is Day 14 of the build season.

This game is by far the most difficult for teams in terms of field construction. It's unfortunate that teams now have to remake this section of the field, especially for teams who went with metal version. Not to mention the impact on teams who have prototyped and designed drivetrains based on the original incorrect spec. The obviously isn't a deal breaker for anyone as teams can find ways to work around this, however it's still frustrating and disappointing. Over the past few years in FRC, the GDC has basically always made team/customer friendly decisions when it comes to changes like this; hopefully they'll reconsider this one to keep with that trend.
