Re: Regarding field lengths - HORRIBLE dimensioning concept

Actually, Page 6 gives you most of what you need to know in order to calculate most of the other dimensions.

What is missing is either: The length of the Alliance Station, or the length of the Chute Wall.

GE-15013 from the Game Specific Drawings shows you that the length of the Chute Wall is approximately 82.5 inches plus about 5 inches from the GE-15012.

With 2 of the 3 sides of the right triangle, you can now calculate a lot of the distances.

It is a big math puzzle that is not beyond the abilities of the students.
