Hi, Team 888's official internet nerd here:

We're trying to assemble ourselves a replica hoop set, but in order to attach the bumper and the place the key in the right areas, we need to know this:

Is the frame holding the hoops attached to the wall, or do only the backboards extend from the wall?

http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2012_Assets/2012ArenaLayoutandMarking_revA.pdf has some regard to the hoops but we need some more detail.

Thanks!

Have you found the field drawings?

http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/2012-Official-FIRST-Field-Drawings

there are two flavors, the official ones that are used to build the actual fields, and the "team drawings" showing how to make a low cost mockup.

Jim,

These drawings helped us build it, but we secured our frame to a wall instead of making that stand for it. Unfortunately, those can't help us.
