  • The 60" box isn't fabric.
  • Pool noodles aren't in the kit.
  • FIRST wouldn't waste resources shipping teams items that are readily available (COTS) unless they have been donated
  • The 60" box is a set of items. As others have said, there is no need for a 60" box for items that could be packed in more efficient ways. These items are most definitely close to 60" in length. Frank likes to troll us but not to the point of spending more money due to inefficient packing.
  • Foam balls don't ship compressed (2006, 2012)
  • Inflatable things don't ship inflated (2004, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2014)
  • There will not be 3 alliances or more than 6 robots in a match. FIRST has made too much of an investment in the current field perimeter, including fields owned by districts.

This is a new version of the FRC Field Perimeter used in the past years' FRC games.

FIRST® has determined that this Field Perimeter has the ‘fit and function’ necessary for use in the 2015 FRC. Any changes required for use in subsequent years will be the responsibility of the purchaser. AndyMark, not FIRST, is responsible for product quality, warranty, safety, and all other issues related to this product.

The intent of offering this perimeter is to provide hardware for FRC District and Regional events, FRC teams and communities to have a high quality FRC field for competition, expo, practice, and demonstration purposes.

This perimeter includes side rails, gates, alliance stations, and four (4) shipping crates. The perimeter does not include field carpet, electronics nor the game specific items for each year.
