For the past couple years we have been practicing in our smaller Gym or on the stage at our school with a 1/4 of the size carpet, that was nice for just our team. But for next year I am looking at making a Full sized practice field because the Windsor & Essex Area will have more teams, all rookies except us. We already have a few possible locations for the field, so location isn't an issue. The field would really only be used the last weekend and then in between competitions and champs with our practice bot. Assuming that none of the rookies will have practice bots, we'd be the only one using it inbetween competitions (unless the rookie teams had the same robot we did, which is EXTREMELY unlikely).

So I'm wondering how other teams got their practice field and how many teams usually use it. Would it be possible to buy a field from a team or from FIRST. and would it be better to build a metal field or a wooden field? If all goes well we would have about 6 or so teams from our area using it. And I am also thinking we would invite other teams to our area. I would like to be able to use this field for many years to come, so it wont be made specifically for this game.

Thanks for the idea's and help!
