Wow. Thanks for the pics, my team did not tell me this.

Beware the flags/lap counters. They are IR transmitters! Our autonomous failed miserably until we relocated the flag holder, then it worked 100%. Thanks again team 25 for diagnosing this problem, and helping with the repair.

The plates on the center dividers are an issue. Even with over 3/4" ground clearance, our bot was hung up on the carpet once. (it must have been loose or pulled up)

Bots with forks - Be aware of the fencing material in front of the robo-coach. We had to modify the forks 1st day.

that exact reason is why i accidentally knocked over 2022 twice during a practice match after 1114 did it in hybrid they kept putting it back up.
its also an effect not noticeable from the stands which i got crap for driving weird down there. lookout drivers.

As said by Dad1279 you should place something on the end of your forks so that they cannot go the the fence on the robocoach station, we found that tennis balls work great and that you can get colored one's from a teacher/classroom supply place.
