Didn't the school district buy a few? Talk them into getting 1126 to play with one for the comp. Do it, Do it.

Rule Clairifactions: A few people have asked me privatly about rules so i am going to post the answers publicly.

what surface is it on
carpet (similar to the FIRST floor) on the flat parts and the low ramp, the high ramps are painted MDF

whats the rule on tipping or wedges?
tipping rules will be the same as this year's frc game, there are no problems with wedge robots design as long as they are used in a defensive mannor only.

Did these drawings come out yet? Have you built the field yet? Is it ready for ruckus? My kids want to get working but I don't have ramp sizes yet. Will you need a practice field for ruckus? Let me know if I can help.
