I took some pictures of "the rack" at the VCU Kickoff. It was built by Jewett Automation from Richmond. I think I got pictures of all the components to help teams when building their own rack. You can right-click the picture and click view image to see a larger version. These pics are about 1/4 original size. I will be linking to the full-size originals soon.

For video of the Rack and the other game elements in action, check out FIRSTCast and The Blue Alliance's coverage of the 2007 kickoff (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=51098).

It is quite a thing to behold.

They are "gas/emmision" lines from an automobile.*
Had markings that they were "made by GE".*
Check an auto parts store and ask for a rubberized fuel line, or the full field specs should have something in there about them I would hope.
They won't be an issue to bend, don't worry about that.


*Everything in quotes was actually written on the tube itself.
