We're getting 50' of carpet, and are cramped on one end of the field a little by a giant walk in cooler by 5' for the regulation length. But now that we're getting close to completing the build stage we can re-arrange the room a little to get the full field length. So technically it's possible to have a full field. But if we don't re-arrange it it's only 5' shorter. Might be a problem for autonomous, but if only 1 team shows up at a time, which it's looking like, we can practice together on one side full size and leave the other side short. Or split it 2 1/2' short on each side. Or we'll just scoot things around and get the full length. Eventuelly the school will be getting rid of the cooler and we'll have more then enough room to span the full length plus driver booths. We did build a spill trough this week, on one side, and we'll get started on the other this weeknd, although we only have 10 small balls. Tommorow I'll get a picture of the layout and post it so you can see how it looks.
For those interested, we did a spill test while holding the goal under the trough, and the goal caught 3 balls. But we only spilled 10 out, I think it could of got around 5 max.
