Well, there you go. We have been suffering from the same problem. The only place in our school with a carpeted area sufficiently large to support driving a robot and setting up even rudimentary field elements is the floor of the auditorium. The auditorium is difficult for us to access on weekends and is not an ideal configuration by any stretch of the imagination. The VASC field set-up is much closer to the real deal for us. We hope that it will improve the driver training experience for our team and those others who can come use it. If we can inspire others to do something similar in their area, so much the better!
