Team Update 15 (2016)

[Bob Steele]

There are really only two solutions to this issue and unfortunately the decision has been made to do something that is not one of them

1st solution... use a different fabric in the same configuration
We all designed for fabric... with a pipe at the bottom.

2nd solution (which has already been implemented) is to remove the fabric and pipe altogether.

I am not really sure what the purpose of now coming up with something completely different is. It will end up with different issues... I find it hard to believe that zip ties will not break in this iteration.

I understand that we all need to adapt and be able to react etc etc.... blah blah blah real life... blah blah
but FIRST needs to do that also... come up with a change which is neutral for teams....

I honestly don't think our design will be compromised but I saw several robots last weekend that this design could be trouble for.
