The corral is an excellent idea, Jason. We are invited to participate in a lot of demos with space set-ups similar to this. The corral would be very helpful in defining the area for the robot and the team and in also allowing the guests to participate. Cool.
Wonder what a purple tie-dyed corral would look like.
