Can anyone tell us if teams will be able to rely on the mat around the M01 mission  space travel ramp tower being taped down to the table surface?  Without it being taped down, it's vertical position is far too variable to be in a predictable position (not always vertical) and thus.. much more difficult than normal to hit every time reliably. Even if you use optical sensors to tag the distance to the ramp.
 
I want to tape down the mat in that area to make the tower more stable and give the team a more reliable experience to code and build for.. but don't want to do so if that's not going to be a guarantee at the competition.
