We do not have foam, because it had to be ordered.

We only have one upright and a tunnel at the other bump, only one end of the field.

Where did you order the memory foam?

Great job, it looks great!

Where did you order the foam, I cannot find any info on it in the FIRST drawings or field description.

We were thinking of buying a Mattress Topper from Costco or Sams. I saw one on Amazon too but am not sure how thick it should be. Seems we can get 1.5 - 3 inches thick. Also foam desity varies with supplier.

Wow that is amazing!

Team 2502 was kicked out of our high school at 8PM without any advance notice. Monday morning will be some hectic cleaning before classes start ;-)

The pics were kind of small so I couldn't tell for sure, but it looks like there are no vision targets on that field. Could you not determine the dimensions of the target? I don't see anything in the drawings that give the target dimensions.

The vision target dimensions are in section 6 of the manual. The target has an outer diameter of 42" and each circle (white-black-white) is 4" wide.

It's in the rules, section 6.2.6.

The field is not difficult to build this year. I made a quarter of the field in about 10 hours with only one other person helping.

Best of luck teams.

I will have to get back to you on the foam, one of the students on the team said that we had ordered it and I will look into it.



And about facebook at school, you should make friends with your IT department, maybe get them as one of the mentors. I say that because I work for the IT department for our team's school, and they do get special treatment since I am a mentor.

great job and fantastic turnaround! About how much do you think you spent on materials for the field?

We spent around $400. That is only raw materials.

We found over the years that it's the students who concentrate on the important things (brainstorming, designing, prototyping, building, etc.), and the parents / mentors handle the drudge things (inventorying the KoP, building the field, making the Depot runs, etc.)

Be wary, this can turn into a mentor/student build debate easily. If that's on your mind, I suggest searching any of the numerous wars (oops, threads) on here for the opinions previously posted.
