Beth, I think that page is for all of the official aluminum rack construction plans. I doubt many teams will be able to buid a full regulation competition rack.

The practice field (wood) version is here but really doesn't provide a lot of the information needed to buy the needed materials or how they fit together. There are material lists but much of them simply state AR (As Required) for quantity. Also the plans show dimensions but not quantity to build and they are labeled as parts A..X on one sheet and numbered elsewhere. I have been looking at the 6 sheets in detail for the last hour or so, so we can head to the Depot tomorrow and I have no idea what we need to buy. There is no overall purchase list or BOM. It is very confusing at best. I hope FIRST supplies more information SOON!
