There is now an obvious inconsistency for teams to play in. FIRST either needs to fix the fabric OR remove it permanently.
We have a winner.

My favorite FIRST gameplay-related word EVER has re-appeared in 2016. Inconsistency is back, my people!

Should be fun times ahead.

Sorry I cannot find video yet.

They impaled the low bar curtain with their arm, and could not get free again. Not sure if they e-stopped or were disabled, but what I recall is that they did not move the rest of the match.

I hope someone who was there can correct my account

The Waterford District has just removed the low bar fabric. Same penalty addition as every other event.

Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric

Fabric is back on the low bar at GTCR. Red now, so maybe a different type? Can anyone there gives us any details?

Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric

The low bars just got removed entirely during granite state practice matches. A robot that couldn't quite fit bent it pretty severly.

My bet is that they sourced some bumper fabric from a nearby team. Also it looks like they are missing the lower bar.

Last Waterford match had at least two boulders roll under the low bar to the far side of the field with no penalty. The whole 'intent' is really messy...

I think FIRST should be very thankful the field issues have changed the game for everyone and hasn't really benefited/hurt specific designs or strategies. Imagine the outrage if the field issues were on the batter or castle so robots couldn't batter shoot or climb.

Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric

The biggest strategy problem that it could cause would be the great human players. Removing the fabric and adding a penalty would make bowling around the low bar much riskier.

Even if I didn't think the damage to field elements were a problem, this year was obnoxious simply because it was far too onerous to expect most teams to build all these goddamn wooden monstrosities to be able to test their robot.

Worst part is, we don't have the room to store them next year so we're going to have to take the time to take them all apart again, too. Perhaps a bonfire is in order...
