FIRST Official Pyramide

[yarden.saa]

Hi,
Is there any official written instructions how to assemble the official pyramide(the one that used in competitions built by FIRST)?

All of the official game-specific drawings are here:

They should dimensions and how everything goes together.

I have not seen instructions, but I have put them together several times. Basically assemble two diagonal halves, slide them together & put the top on.

Let me know if you want something more detailed.

It's partly explained in the FTA Manual, but the just of it is

1. put the 4 bottom plates down,
2. layout the pipes on the floor in the right locations, a bottom, middle and top corner at each corner and a bottom rung and middle rung at each side.
3. Assemble two opposite sides then add the poles that connect them then slide together. You have to twist some of the pieces to line up the anti-rotation pegs.
4. Add on the top corner pieces
5. Put the pyramid goal on the top
6. Put the top on the 4 top corner pieces.

I wonder why they don't release the field manual publicly during the season. It seems like it would be really useful.
