Re: Team field elements question

We used a full sheet for most of the parts, but might need a bit more to finish it. 2 would do it, I think. I think we had two sheets of the half inch, but we were just making one goal. The truss is ridiculous.

I would suggest trying to substitute something like 1x lumber for most of the 3/4" pieces. You basically rip an entire sheet of 3/4" plywood into various 1x2's, 1x4's and 1x8's.

The team field drawings are becoming more ridiculous as the years go on. It is very clear they are made by someone who has not built very much out of wood and probably never actually priced materials at home depot.

This year's drawings are a doozie.
