Correct me if I am wrong.... I am seeking the truth as well.

I need a bigger bucket!
You are looking at draawings that begin GE-9... these are official game pieces. You probably do not want to build tho$e.

Look at the team field drawings. These drawing names begin with TE... They use 1/4" plywood instead of alumalite, 1/2" plywood for the bumper backing, and many other cost saving measures.

They are also wrong. In several places. The wheel axle bolts are at least 1" too short, they don't use enough screws to hold it together, and the drawings use ordinate dimensioning, which can be confusing. If you read this thread it should help decipher them

Hope this helps,

Martin
