I'd like to second this. We went into the event with basically zero shooting autonomous. The practice field allowed us to get a crude dead reckoning shooting autonomous working, and having access to extra practice matches whenever we wanted them was a blessing.

Thank you to the FTA's and anyone else involved with the setup and maintenance of the practice field!
