Where is the link to purchase FLL Field Kits?

I'm sure it would be long gone. When you register a team, you have options of buying robot kits and field setup kits. I don't know of any other way to get the field kit (and mat). Do you want me to post a message on the (now lightly used) FLL Forum to see if anyone is interested in selling their kit? If so, send me an email so I can tell them how to contact you.

Ebay has old kits and fields on it once in a while.
The Mission Mars setup from years ago was for sale on there last week.

As was mentioned above, you can only purchase new field kits when you register an FLL team, even then you are limited to one per team. Registration will begin again in May, with field kits shipping mid-August.

If you are looking for a filed kit to start a team, as Elgin stated Ebay is one option, but they are often costly there (I've seen prices range from $100 to over $500). My suggestion is to look for an existing FLL team and see if they have any older field sets that they would loan you (or sell). I've borrowed one from a team when I started out our FLL team, and our last years kit is currently on loan to a family trying to keep their son interested.

To find contacts for a local FLL team you may try contacting your local FRC team.

Contact the FLL partner for your area. The state championship tournaments often have many "left over" from events, that are then used for different purposes for the rest of the year, especially for presentations.

If you do that, make sure you have someone who knows the parts well go over the pieces with you. When the tournament sets are struck, we're usually more concerned with time than accuracy in getting parts sorted. But it's a good suggestion - there are dozens of tournament sets out there.

Since you are in New Jersey, contact the FRC & FLL Director Randy Schaeffer for spare Power Puzzle kits left over from the NJ & NYC FLL tournies.

Hopefully he still has some left.
