Also to note, FIRST does not give out _any_ bins. You have to find you're own source. Since you need ~40 just to set the field and extras to replace dead bins, this turns into a hefty expense.

The field must also be insured. I belive for 10k, but don't quote me on that. I know in our case a local school has picked that up. It must also be shipped on a professional carrier.

The scoring software does come with the field, as does FIRSTs field operating system. You have to come up with the computers though. Last time I checked, none of the software was ready for the post season.

Needless to say, getting a field can be an expensiveb hassle.

Setup also takes 20+ people at least 6 hours, probably more.
