Re: Pit Flooring

I'll provide some historical experience here.

On my old team, we used the foam tiles that the FTC/VEX programs generally default to. Because we host an event, we have a ton laying around.

We generally put out an 8'x8' square. This is just we can put the tools and tables and cabinets on the concrete (or whatever).

Do be careful here. It's just foam, so this means that things like carts, driving robots, etc. leave impressions and these pieces loose chunks. I'd recommend having two sets just so you can pull from one.

A little while ago, I remember that a team was handing out strips of what felt like the semi-hard spongey material that they make running tracks out of. It was soft enough to kneel down onto, but it seemed like it'd be hard enough to withstand 90% of the FRC experience. Anyone know of this magic material?
