Well, We're setting our Sights for the 1st-Annual RAPTAR RAMPAGE Scrimmage to be hitting the Virginia Science Museum Sometime in February 2004!
I have one question I need answered:
CARPET!
What type of carpet is Used? Nylon?
How do you section it off, connect it, disconnect it?
Where did you get yours from?
About how much did it cost?
I need these things answered because I can't seem to find the right kind of carpet, or pricing. I need this as the final piece of the mischievous price puzzle, so I can give an estimate of the overall field costs, and I think the carpet is the largest chunk.
I think we'll have enough money to build one though, hopefully.
My idea for carpet was just to have a bunch of 12x32 (or something like that) rolls that somehow get quickly stitched together (with a small handheld sewing machine thing) and then taped over the seams. To take 'em down, you just remove the tape and cut down the line of the seam to disconnect the pieces. The carpet would get pretty fuzzy lookin after a while though
Anyway, let me know. We only have so many days before I have to work some of the details out.
