Re: How many of you build your own field?
Yeah, we generally lay out the dimensions of the field, so we know how much space we have to work in and to get a feel for it. We build at least one of each of the elements (i.e. this year: auto loader, center goal, side goal, vision tetra) and then a bunch of the small tetras. This way we can check out all of the functions and issues etc. that we need to address. And if we are going to have a scrimmage this year with a few local teams, then we will build some more components for the field.
A tip to those teams that can't find enough PVC end caps or other parts: order your parts early. This seems to work out less problematically than going out on the day of/after kickoff and trying to find all of the necessary things. Good luck to all teams out there, regardless of whether you have a full field, or very little to work with! |
