Thanks a lot.
Team 2635.

P.S. I have to agree that you should put hexbugs in there
Yes, we tried to build the field as close to regulation as possible, excluding size. In the real Breakaway field, the ball return ramp ends at about the end of the tower it is supported by. This means that the balls will land in the midzone while the return ramp doesn't actually extend into the midzone itself.

If you want to see this in real life size, check out the FRC game animation or the field at the FRC Kickoff.
