Re: 4FX Design 2011 Kickoff Setup Day pics

They still let us swarm, which is unfortunate for pictures and measuring.

There should be an official set of "photographs of the Field". In construction, some retail chains used to have a set of photos taken prior to opening that show how everything is set up and what everything looks like in their designed locations. (If the contractor took the photos, it was probably for proof that "that ding on the wall was by you guys; if you look in this photo you can see it wasn't there when we turned over the space to you.")

For those that never get to see the Kickoff Field, the first chance usually is at their first competition, and even then they don't allow you on the Field. Photographs like these show much more than the official drawings. "Picture worth 1000 words" and all.

I can understand why FIRST doesn't want to provide these photos -- "It was shown at Kickoff, why is it different at competition?" sort of complaints. But it does show an official record of how the Field is supposed to be set up.
