The field is looking pretty good. Here are a few comments/nits to help make it even more accurate:
- as noted above, the alliance station wall is only 18 feet wide. In addition, it is made of three identical 6-foot wide sections. Each section has its own 68-inch long shelf to hold the operator interface.
- There is no diagonal brace coming off the ends of the alliance station walls at the 45 degree angles. Instead, in the new configuration, there are rounded "hand rails" on each of the wall sections that extend from the floor up about 48 inches. See
this image for an example.
- The field border is a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" alumunum angle, with the vertical face in towards the field. It is not a box channel.
- The vision tetras are colored red and blue, just like the rest of the tetras. They are not grey.
- In between each pair of loading stations in each quadrant of the field, there is a gate in the field railing for access to the field. There is an aluminum diamond plate ramp at this point on the outside of the field border, rising from the carpet to the top of the field border. There is a strip of yellow and black "safety tape" at the top of the ramp. Look at the field overview renderings in Chapter 3 and 4 of the manual, and you will see what I mean.
- The automated loading stations are made of 1"x1" aluminum square tube, and have a much more skeletal appearance. See
this image and
this image for examples.
Good job so far - keep at it!
