I could see the game, but I'm missing a lot of the aesthetics that many of the previous games have had. That's why I have that center color bat between the tracks - it has the aesthetic of previous games.

I'm missing the main game element, if it's a ball or something.

I have thought about trailers, like how many trains carry trailers that go on tractor trailer trucks. Maybe if we had to stack PVC 'crates' on the boxcars, but I'm having trouble figuring how to fit the boxcars and multiple other objects I'm adding to the field into the wooden crates that are used for storage of the torn down FIRST field as it travels to regionals. Which is the big thing when thinking about making FIRST games - how much space these field elements take up when torn down for travel.
