[FTC]: Field Drawings?

We're completely new to this FTC thing. I've barely paid attention to this program in the past and have only a vague idea of what the field looks like.

Can we expect FIRST to provide drawings and dimensions of field elements, or have I missed where that information is currently available?

Specifically, I'm interested in the height of the field barrier and the height of the puck dumpers, as both seem integral to successfully playing the game.

Madison,

Yes - You can expect it.

Last night when I looked on the FIRST web site for that info, I was shown a web page that had references to last year's Quad-Quandary field drawings.

It might take a little while for the info to get published, but I certainly expect that it will be published.

Blake
