The official contents of the practice field this year: 1 goal (with target, and chains that doubled as spares for the official field), 1 tower with platform, and 1 bump section, plus carpet. Not sure if the bump and ramp had carpet on them.
Thanks for the clarification Eric; that is certainly different than it used to be.

When you say "low-cost field elements", are you referring to the low cost design drawings on the FIRST website under the "Arena" section? Because this year, as I stated, the vertical posts in the low cost design were 4 x 4's, not 1.5 diameter tubing.
