Supported the set.

Most sets on Lego Ideas that get 10k votes still don't get made, so it's a long shot...

I supported it as well, but I needed to make a new account.

I really hope that the set(s) makes it into production, how ever slim the chances may be.

With first backing this does no one wonder why they don't just contact lego directly and get it made in a limited quantity.

Lego is probably wondering what the demand for this/these product(s) will be, and/or first has bigger things to worry about than this lego set making it to market.

Don't they usually get rejected for IP issues or is it some other aspect that makes it unfeasible?

A lot of the ones I see are either IP is unavailable/too costly or simply too large/complicated.

Thats too bad. From what I can tell there are a few good ideas in there.

The real issue with the frc kit is the lack of people whom will buy it compared to most of their products.

Adambots (245) used that to plan one of our matches at Center Line. Utterly fantastic.

I don't remember if the little robots had magnets. Probably not, since our real robot flipped over that match

Someone on my team just shared this link.

"Designed by a FIRST alumnus, volunteer, and mentor and a current FIRST student, this LEGO set is a scale model of half of the field for FIRST STRONGHOLD, the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc)."

It needs 8715 more supporters in the next 446 days!

In this contentious election, there is one candidate Lego set we can all agree on. Vote Stronghold for president production 2016!

I was bored a little, so I played around with the 3d model and ended up with a photosphere. It's a bit weirdly tilted, but I don't feel like repeating the whole render just to get rid of that. You can rotate or download it on Flickr. The full size picture is a bit bigger (10000x5000 pixels) so you'll want to head over to download it.
