633: 3D printed part for field
The corner goals have a nice support bracket from the top of the field, but the side goals don't. After some play, they are already getting a bit flimsy (also, it would be nice to move the field wall without taking the goal off - currently, if you do, it will break the lower support for that goal).
So, one of our students designed a 3D printer part that acts as a bracket to support the side goals. We are keeping these on for practice and would like to leave these on for VRC tournaments. Is this legal to keep these on for tournaments? If so, I can share upload and share the STL file for anyone to use.

Generally, minor field modifications (such as for ease of assembly) are permissible, provided that they do not alter the intended function of the field in any way.
In certain circumstances, this modification hinders the intended performance of the goal, and was intentionally not included in the original design of the field. Therefore, this modification will not be legal to use during an official competition.
