Kaitlin Ilnitzki and I can carry feedback to FLL.

I don't really understand what the concern is yet.

Using Home as a target area to return to is larger than the Launch Area,
and it also has more walls to help stop the Robot, so it seems to me like
it would be *easier* to return to Home than to the Launch Area, although it
is a little bit farther, so it would take a little bit more time.

We've tried to be pretty emphatic about this change in trainings and on
this discussion list.  Do people have recommendations for additional
techniques we could use in the future to help your teams understand what
they are reading?
