Re: Building the Element

We're thinking of just making a half pyramid and sticking it next to a wall. Unfortunately, I don't think FIRST was very nice this year. The thing is enormous...how are most teams supposed to fit this in their workshops and still have room to build the darn robot? Also, the dimensions for some of the components are terrible...24.25" pipe? 48.54" pipe? You kidding me? Just make it in integer feet segments. Those are much easier to buy. Now everyone has to go out and get pipe cutters and waste nearly foot long segments.
