Keith,
I appreciate your desire to be as accurate as you can be, but welcome to the world of FIRST, where everything measured has a very large allowable variation (mostly to protect the game developers and field builders) To be honest with you, we have not, and will not build the entire field until Nov. 16th - therefore we are working from bits and pieces that we create to get the basic dimensions from. That's why we have not measured and described every component and field measurement to the level you may want. The backboard was a last second add, on my part to reinforce the structure as I felt the shelves were too weak without it. I rushed the sketch the day before we burned the CD's and didn't catch my error (10" was suppose to be 6") - my bad!
You will soon learn that exact measurements are impossible to give without the responder going way out on a limb. Therefore, the final response to anymore questions about the gap that is created will be "@4" plus or minus 1". Hopefully that will suffice.
