If only we knew that in the PIT there will be such a poor arena could spread it to the team I am sure many would volunteer to bring an official arena to the pit. Actually, last year, one my suggestions (as FRC senior mentor) to lower the cost of the Israel regional was to have different teams be responsible for the different parts of the official arena, but make sure in advance that all parts are exactly like the official drawings. There are many teams who construct official arena anyway.
