Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

Use the pipes as 'motivational' tools for students?

... Or just scrap the pipes if nobody wants em.

Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

What I have learned from my years in FRC:
You can make money on anything
SELL IT SELL IT
Unless you have a use for it or it is used in a future game.
Don't be so quick to get rid of the materials, you might find them useful!

Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

You could chop it up and weld it together to make some modern art trophies to give out at any competition based fundraiser.

Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

Another idea I have his is that you could also use each level as raw material storage. From the floor to the first level could sheets of wood. From the first level to the second level could be used for long pieces of material such as 80/20. From the second to the third level you could use it for scrap pieces that could still be useful. Or on a different note you could cover a side of the pyramid with wood and you could use that as a place to brainstorm or put inspirational messages or safety concepts.

Cut it at the corners and then offset it from the wall using wooden spacers.

Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

No No No, keep it for next years game.

Just turn it upside down, put a platform on top and play king of the hill.

Anyone that can make it on top wins if you can get it down after the game ends without climbing up.

Re: What to do with pyramid material after the season

I was planning of painting our pyramid green, wrapping some old vines around it/grow them on there, and then put a bunch of hanging plants on it. The way the rungs are offset will ensure that all the plants get rainwater and sun. The vines and paint will help it blend in some, once I get it started I will try to post a picture on here to show it. I'm a big fanatic when it comes to yard work and gardening, so the pyramid is going to be fun to use.
