You should consider contacting other teams in the area and seeing if any of them wants to build a mutually owned rack with your team. You could also see if a local team already building a rack wouldn't mind your team trying it out for a little while just to see what it's like in person.

Re: Rack Construction

Well, we have a rack but what good is it if there are not enough ringers and keepers to go around. Can I find a supplier of the rings on the FIRST website? If not, can somebody tell me where we can order some more. Thanks.

Starting on wednesday, you can order tubes from FIRST. I think that there is a limit on the number of keepers that each team can purchase, but you could just use ringers with tape on them or something like that.

Re: Rack Construction

I have just finished figuring out all the materials and the estimated amount of each material needed to built the rack. If anyone would like this information (I have it in a spread sheet form) please feel free to email me at kligotti@comcast.net.

Also, on it i have some places to get the materials and the estimated costs, although some of these materials can be gotten at many different places.

Thank you!! You have just save me hours of pain trying to figure out all the supplies my team needs.

Re: Rack Construction

Does anyone have any idea on the dimensions for the light arm? We are assuming it is the same length as the spider legs, but we cant figure out what angle the light is mounted at. Any help?? :)

The light arm is cut at 10 degrees - it is part B on this sheet:
