That's great and all... but there's nothing available to teams which defines the size of the poly sheet or acrylic panel, or their position relative to anything else on the field.

Try to come up with an actual numeric value. If you find an answer, please share. The closest thing to actually define this information is the field tour video linked previously, but it's not clear exactly what they mean by what they say. (as I mentioned in my previous post)

For the record, the low goal is 36" wide. It's 36.75" tall. See page 4 of the low goal drawing. Unfortunately the cube faces aren't labeled.

This dimension isn't available in any materials provided to teams by FIRST. If you have come a cross it, please share.
