I'm almost entirely sure but just checking, pneumatics are still illegal? (They really ought to be legal, they'd be so amazingly fun!)
And another question from a rookie - any idea when the playing field will be available to purchase?
Nicely done FIRST, i'm psyched.

I would guess that you could purchase it online, but beware of the price, it will most likely be pretty expensive. There should be plans to build a "cheap" field of stuff you can get at like Lowe's or Home Depot. I just read part of the rules and it says it will be in Appendix 6.
