Mini field...

Last year our team wanted a full size field so we went to a warehouse and rented the appropriate amount of space for a field but that caused many problems.
1) THe robot was being built in a different building then where the arena was.
2)The whole team was never together to get work done...

Our robot this year was a limbo/big ball/balance from off the bridge 1 goal bot.
So this year Ethicon (our sponsor) was nice enough to give us a room just big enough to build an arena so that we could have the whole team together...We had an exact bridge by about a week after the game was released(including the right weights and diamond plate on the side for the exact weight of a replica FIRST bridge) and we had 2 goals. However, we had the carpet but, on either side of the bridge tehre was about 3 feet to manuver(sp?) The field definetly helped our driving team (me being the driver) because we made room enough for us to grab a ball put it on the goal and balance it. Of course we had to compensate for time that it would have taken when going for the big ball or getting back to the endzone, since we had such a small field....But all in all a mini field is definetly better then no field...
