Re: Vetting and Idea: Modular Field Design...
The field borders (including driver stations, rails, and the like) are already reused with minimal modifications from year to year. (You'll notice that on some of the diamond-plate panels on the end walls, there remain square cutouts for ball chutes that were part of a previous game, and have since been covered over with an additional sheet of diamond plate.) Parts are added and removed for whatever the game requires.
The new IFI control unit is definitely going to be reused. (It was intended as a long-term replacement for the previous system.)
As for reusing field components like goals and ramps, do you really want to see another PVC goal, ever again? (See the 2001, 2002 & 2004 games!)
