Which set of specs did you use? Noting the differences between the different drawings we are a little concerned about building ours until the GDC clarifies which one is correct...

I've learned the hard way that all FIRST specs are nominal. Failure to plan around that fact has bit us on more than one occasion!

Not really the answer I wanted but at least it's honest guess we'll just pick the one closest to the dimensions given by the game manual...

Well, let's be honest... Did they give us a spec on how thick the powder coat is? (I do not believe they did!)

Building for less-than-perfect fields is essential for success!

Kudos to you and thanks for posting this variant.

Can you confirm my back of the envelope calculations that the distance from center to center of the horizontal members in the plane parallel to the floor is approximately 22 inches?

Andrew,

I am pretty sure that the 30 inch measurements are in the plane parallel to the floor (the length of the diagonal members are 104 inches).

It never occurred to me that the actual distance (in the sloped plane) was greater than 30 inches. My (probably wildly innaccurate) visio model shows it to be about to 32.4").
