Ball coral
 

does anybody know how high the bump leading into the ball coral is? after viewing photos of the field I came across a bump leading into the ball coral so if anybody knows how big this bump is please let me know

Re: Ball coral
 

It is in Q&A, 1/4 to 1/2 inch I think. It is a piece of angle. But they say it doesn't affect how the ball move through the corral.

According to these pictures, it looks like more than an angle.

Has anyone seen specific dimensions or specific materials used?

Q: Is there a seamless transition between the playing field and the ball chute? The kickoff video looks like there was a 1/2 inch steel bar or some structural support there.

A: No. There was an angled piece of 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" aluminum in the opening with the outside of the angle facing up (~1-1/8"). In the final configuration, there will be a vertical piece of 1/4" thick aluminum with the same vertical dimension as before. The ball dynamics are the same in either configuration. Drawings will reflect this change.

what is that black rubber looking thing on top of the aluminum?

Can you point me to the drawing the he talks about?

Re: Ball coral
 

I'm assuming the drawings the playing field. Also I would assume the black material would be a rubber-like material. Possibly to keep the rubber balls from reacting off of it.
