So if you can try and get some other local teams, if any, in on this project that will help keep costs down for you. |
Foster - I don't recal exactly where they to find them, but by searching the CD and/or FIRST sites you will be able to find plans for building a low-cost, but correct, FRC field from lumber instead of expensize modular, welded metal.
I think the thread I am remembering was active last year (2009-2010 school year), but it might be from 2008-2009.

[edit] What do you want to bet that Alan's URL points to the plans I am recalling? At least they appear to be equivalent plans.[/edit]
