Re: FRC Pit size 2015
Definitely do adaptable. Never count on an event giving you the full 10x10, even if it is in a huge event center. There's nothing more annoying than a team that encroaches into your pit because they couldn't adapt to 8x8, thus making your put 7x7 or less.
Ours is pretty easy to set up, just four independent towers that stand up on their own. If we are less than 10ft, we don't put the bars connecting the towers. At first we were going to have the bars modifiable but that didn't happen. If you want technical details, I'd be happy to share.
Attached is a picture of the back our pit set up at our state FLL tournament. the front actually has a monitor built in and some open shelves for displaying items.
