Will match loads be elevated at World’s or will they be on the floor?

I found an earlier question from back in January but no definitive answer. As teams prepare for the upcoming tournament - we need to know if we will be taking balls off the floor or off some platform. This is important to know do to teams loading balls quickly from the floor in most regional competitions where the field is on the floor. This will drastically change the approach of balls need to be loaded from the floor to an elevated field (robot).

please let us know what to expect as far as elevated fields and elevated loading are concerned for the 2016 NBN World Championship.

piniontwister,
It is unlikely that platforms will be provided during VEX Worlds 2016 to accommodate match loads. There will be more information next week regarding this, and other topics, in the Team FAQs document.

Best,
Brad
