I don't think they can change the fields now, the fields have probably already been fabricated.

Doesn't mean they can't change. The rock wall isn't integral into the structure or shape of the field. It's an easy fix and FIRST should be the ones to take the expense and change.

If FIRST can't find someone to cut and bend 20ish pieces of sheet steel in a month, they really need some new suppliers.

I believe the material is 5 gage aluminum sheet. But your point is still valid.

I'm not sure, they show it welded to steel sheet in the drawings, no?

Another point of confusion.

No, it's steel. They screwed up that part of the drawing too. The assembly drawing makes it clear it's a weldment and refers to it as "steel bump".

Next year's game will be building robots to read field drawings and go out and verify the actual field against them. Then the field not matching the drawings will be entirely by design.

An error in the field drawings? Say it ain't so!

I'm surprised with this update that the material wasn't addressed also. Does anyone know if that is a question already submitted?

I think it's pretty obviously steel. The mention of aluminum makes absolutely no sense and steel is explicitly called out in 2 different locations in the assembly drawing.

Re: Q&A:612 Rock Wall Dimension Change

I have been told the field elements where originally aluminium and got changed to steel when they found out the cost.

It is a tad ironic to back up a statement by citing a drawing in a thread about how the drawings are wrong.

Didn't they say they were steel in the field tour videos?

Re: Q&A:612 Rock Wall Dimension Change

Has anybody altered their wall yet and made an effort to determine what effect exactly is incurred by the change?

Re: Q&A:612 Rock Wall Dimension Change

Rock Wall will be 5.25 wide because of manufacturing limitations per Frank's blog. Height per drawing. 4.5?
