Re: pic: More MM06 Field Shots

I got a PM asking for more details about the field, particularly size. Here's what I wrote back:

I don't think that anybody ever got an official length of the field. I want to say that we used the full 54' length, since the room was 60' with very little room left at the ends. Mike Walker's drawings said the field was 16' wide; the FIRST field drawings seem to back that number up.

The goalposts were 30" square from 3/4" PVC, with legs to attach them to the posts that joined the corner goal and player stations. We used cheap garden netting to divert balls into the ball corral; folks with clickers will have to keep a closer watch than with the standard field.

The ramp was a standard FRC ramp, but 5.5' wide instead of 11', placed at midfield against the back wall.

Hope this helps!
