[Al Skierkiewicz]

The plates are drawn in the field drawings and are rather long and wide. (Check for the drawings on the FIRST website.) The plates are then in turn, covered with a piece of carpet and the edges of the carpet are then taped with gaffer's tape to the playing field carpet. There are no fillets on the plate edges. If you are using skids, your design needs to accomodate these "bumps".
