We ended up on relying on teams who had access to reasonably accurate field elements from hosting kickoff events and were gracious enough to share their prototyping results with us.
This brings up the unspoken advantage that kickoff host teams have over the rest of us. They show of the field elements at kick off, then get to keep them for the season.

Last year, we had an army of parents building field elements Saturday/Sunday of kickoff, but it still wasn't enough to get everything done. I'd at least like to enjoy the same advantage that kickoff hosts do.
