Full field borders can be purchased from LogoLoc (
http://www.logoloc.com/first/RNR/200...ticefloor.html) or IFI (
http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-competitions.shtml). The LogoLoc field is $500 but they're currently sold out. The IFI field is $750 and is made of better material (IMHO).
Also on the IFI website is instructions for building a low-cost field border made out of PVC and plywood (
http://www.vexrobotics.com/docs/vex-....20090427.pdf). I've seen some teams with those and they work out nicely.
Official field tiles can be purchased from Softtiles (
www.softtiles.com). If you call them and state that you are with an FTC team, they will give you a discount (see
https://www.softtiles.com/content/view/52/1/).
Otherwise, I agree with ttldomination's post about seeing what the game is as to what else to buy and to whether you need a full field or not.
