I have not been paying much attention, until today
(I've been procrastinating), to our field setup box that arrived a week or two
ago. When I opened the box, first thing I noticed was the mat, all folded
up, within the box. When I layed it out on the table, the second thing I
noticed is that it has some significant creases caused by the folding of the
mat. I'm thinking the creases may cause some issues with robot
navigation. I have two questions and please forgive me they have been
asked before:
1) How do we smooth out the mat? In years
past, when the mat came in a tube, I knew what to do. I'm at a loss
here.
2) When we show up at a regional tournament and the
tables were set up the night before, will there be some concerted effort to make
sure the mats are smooth?
Thanks,
