The TechnoKats built the very first low-cost wooden field. We have room in our sponsor's warehouse to keep it permanently assembled. It gets minor tweaks every year for game-specific features (typically the corners).

How much space do you have? What are your resources? The closer you can get to a real field the better. You need to replicate the floor. Carpet most years. You need to mock up the field elements you are going to be using. For the feeder & targets this can be from cardboard to the material specified on the drawings. Real elements this year are pretty expensive.

FRC 1511 also builds a full wooden field (except for some features like the pyramid) to host their week 0 event, the Rochester Rally.
