As far as 2D PDF drawings go, I believe their drawn so that you can build the field, not to find critical dimensions. This could be solved by supplying a supplemental drawing titled 'critical dimensions' that shows all of the dimensions relevant to game play.

But that would probably make too much sense.
Yeah, that's what gets me. They clearly have it modeled, is it too much to just do a "save as > .stp > upload"?

Bill Miller easily spent an hour in our pits at Vegas 2010 talking to me about what we though FIRST could do better. I only brought up a few points, and this was one of them for easily 15 minutes straight. He seemed very understanding and even agreed, so they can't say they're not aware of the demand.
