Playing Field Carpet: After each event, the playing field carpet gets retired and a team may request to take home one or both of the carpet rolls – free! The rolls are 15 feet wide by 75 feet long and would be the great to have for a practice field at your workshop. If any team (even those not attending the event) would like to take the carpet, please contact us on our website http://www.nefirst.org/portfolio/ri-event/.

A note on those rolls of carpet. The full roll of half the playing field is CUMBERSOME but moveable. Expect to use 6 strong people, or 8 robotics team members to move it (heh heh). Bring webbing (straps). SAVE the CORE to make the roll-up easier.
Alternative: cut the 75 feet in half and you will have 4 much more manageable rolls that will provide a very decent practice field for a few years.
We did both: kept 1 full roll, and made 2 half-rolls. Someone said I was "frickin' nuts," but I am going to be very happy when we finally get a full-length field, and have a seamless carpet to put down on it.
