Re: Regolith Field Corner Dimensions
It's a good question.

Usually FIRST puts details like this in some hidden corner of another, usually unrelated, drawing, or makes you "do the math". I'm thinking TE-09001 Sheets 1 thru 6, 2009 FRC Team Corner, which is the "homemade" version, has some important numbers. Wading thru "2009 Game Specific Drawings.zip" I found the real field version of that corner at GE-09010 thru GE-09012, but looking at your sketch it looks like you have these dimensions already.

I'm going to take a wild guess here. Assuming your 18" carpet on the sides and 24" on the Alliance wall are correct -- more dimensions that are hidden away somewhere else and must be calculated? I didn't look for the 24" -- I would say at the angled section the carpet is 18" out. Why? The Alliance wall has a bumper and so would need more carpet depth to balance out the bumper overhang depth. There's no bumper at the angled wall so it would match the side walls.

I know, it's only a guess. Ask the GDC. Personally, if I gave dimensions like this when designing a building I'd never live it down with the construction workers.
