I don't. However, the volunteers are amazing, efficient and know how to set up the field. They probably know how to set up the field already, so that it is just a jigsaw for them.

And when this pops after being punctured by a robot...?

That was an example. These fields would be made much stronger than that. Maybe some sort of plexiglas or acrylic, etc. could be used. A rubber gasket could seal the walls together.

Okay, FIRST does not have an infinite money source...Just think about how much extra this would cost...purchasing 20 or so tanker trucks, paying drivers and assistants, paying for gas for each of the trucks to travel great distances over the course of 9 weeks...This would never happen. I promise.
That is true. That was just an idea. However, they don't need to purchase these tanks. They could possibly rent them. However, I don't know how much that would cost. It would probably be expensive, but not as expensive as buying twenty trucks. By the way, how easy is it to get access to distilled water? I barely see more than gallon-bottles in grocery stores, and their price tags are not so tasty!
