Re: Who should build the field?

I know on my team is a high priority but its also a big project for new kids. Usually a senior member of the team leads as many of the new kids in a massive field construction project. We really lack the space for a full size field but in spite of that, for the last few years have built full size field components. The result is that our lab is quickly filling up with large abstract wooden structures. The benefit to having the majority of the new kids build the field quickly is that they provide lots of manual labor and they can get comfortable handling power tools in a relaxed setting before working on precision critical robot pieces. While this might turn into a big argument often times distracting the new kids with this project also lets the more senior kids have enough peace from the rigors of leadership to sit down with the necessary people and flesh out a plan for the robot.

Lastly as other teams have mentioned the field pieces are extremely necessary for understanding how to play the game. As far too many teams are finding out this year, the ramps in front of the corner goals haven't turned out to be something you can ignore. They have caused countless teams so far trouble simply because teams didn't build the field piece.
