Building the playing field and field pieces is also a high priority with Wildstang. A field team will work Saturday and Sunday of kickoff weekend to have either fully built field pieces or full size mockups ready for the first brainstoriming session. That session is a full team meeting with parents and takes place on Sunday afternoon. If you did not have a 2002 goal built you would have had a hard time estimating the difficulty in moving an object of that size and weight. I know of one team who also built a partial of the goal (approx. 1/3) with correct pipe and other matierials that allowed them to test goal grabbers and align height. The partial was easy to move around and ship.
