Discrepancy between field blueprint and diagram

The base line in the official blue print (page 4 field assembly) is 93.3 inches which is about 7 feet 9 and inches

https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.n...ldAssembly.pdf

In the official game manual (page 16), it states that the base line is 9 feet and 4 inches.

My team is unsure which measurement to follow when constructing a mock field. What is everyone else basing their field measurements off of?

Well have to wait for the first team update, but the cad drawings are more likely correct unless they are dimensioned off the wrong datum

Re: Discrepancy between field blueprint and diagram

Doing some basic ratio comparison using both field drawings I found that the base line is about 7ft 8in from the driver station wall, which is much closer to the value of the CAD drawings than the value listed in the manual.
