See pg 17 in the game manual...

Section 2.2.3
Located atop each PYRAMID is a PYRAMID GOAL. The PYRAMID GOAL is a polycarbonate and metal framed
“basket” that is a 23 5/8 in. square that is 2 3/4 in. deep. Rising out of the center of the PYRAMID GOAL is a 20 in. tall,
1 1/2 in. diameter post. Hanging from the top of the post are chains (Ace Hardware P/N: 5365283) to help dampen the
DISCS as they enter the PYRAMID GOAL.

Hate to be the guy that tells you to read the manual but it is under section 2.2.3

The manual is a good source for a lot of information. However, I often find it lacking enough details about specific field elements to answer all my questions. If you need exact specifications, I suggest looking at the game field drawings located here: http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2013/2013_Game_Specific_Drawings.pdf

Don't look at the team drawings, because those often deviate from the real field dimensions to make it "easier" for teams to build them.

We'd all read the manual. We were just forgetting where we saw that topic in. Thank you all for the helP
