Re: Team Version Hopper assembly

Download the diagrams for building the "real" field. Look at drawings around GE-17252 which shows the real Kick Bar. This one is made of steel tubing, but we are going to try making one out of 3/4 in. PVC water pipe and fittings.

We were not happy with the plywood version and it won't work with a practice field where the hopper is on one side of the fence and the Kick Bar is on the other side, so we hope the PVC version will work.

We also had problems with the hinges on the hopper being mounted below the plate which binds when pushed high enough for the Kick Bar to be placed under it.
