Accurate Field Dimensions
 

Okay, so me and my team have been trying to make part of the field with the balls for working on our autonomous (sorry if this is spelled wrong) program, but unfortunately we are unable to find accurate field dimentions. Can someone point us in the right direction for this?

Thanks in advance!

You'll have to search through a lot of drawings to find exactly what you want, but they are all posted with the Manual on the FIRST website, Section 6 The Arena.

Okay, since I can't find it, I'll ask here. What I'm trying to find is the accurate detail of how far away the place where the ball placement square is away from each one of the sides of one of the sides of the square.

FE-00033, last page, is the Arena Layout and Marking sheet.

I was asked by another team member to post this picture:

The red lines indicate the measurements which we need to know and they aren't explicitly labeled. Whether or not they're meant to be unknown (competition purposes) or whether or not we're simply not looking at the diagram right, this is what we need.

The horizontal red lines are easy. Simply add or subtract dimensions.

That line coming in at the top indicates the location of the center. If you know that, then you should be able to figure out distances from the driver's station and the bump...

Ditto for the vertical red lines, but you'll need to use the distance from the center line (labeled as 6' 8" in the drawing, which is where that picture came from).

After some mathematical deliberation (and some overcomplication) we have come upon the measurements. It seems as if our team is a little out of it tonight. :rolleyes: Thank you for the advice.
