Two questions to the fine folks on 25...is this to scale? And what did you use to suspend the spider legs? Looks like string, but I'm not sure.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

Here is a link to the first image, since the original link is broken.
The field is not to exact scale. We first built the rack, and then estimated and sized the rest of the field accordingly. String was used to suspend the spider legs, with some rainbow string serving as the center "chain". The rack is also built so that it can move within the scaled radius of 3 feet.

Note the driver and human player-they are to scale! :D

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

Haha, we did the same except with legos. We even had some people having timed practice games to develop strategy and such.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

I think this is most practical with VEX. I think that VEX is great for the purpose of scaleing and prototyping before time, effort, and money is gone into making a robot.

Pavan.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

You guys need to stop taking this so seriously. We were trying to figure out how the rack actually moved and got a bit carried away. It was just something fun that we did while strategizing and such; it was meant as a joke.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

That's hilarious. At first I thought you had actually built the real field and I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped in shock.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

That is awesome! Not only is that hilarious but it is a wonderful way to plan out team strategy! Thumbs up guys!

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

hahaha, very nice!

Helped some of our lesser talented members visualize the field better...now to break out the legos... ^^

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

not as bad as the real thing though....

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

the next mock up is made in Tinker Toys and the playing pieces are Krispy Kreme donuts

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

We're supposedly playing around with different manipulator designs at our meeting tonight using donuts and straws.

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

wow, that is very cute. Goo job guys! :]

Re: 25's Completed Field Setup
 

That's fantastic, not what I was expecting, but fabulous none the less. :p
