Past Year's Fields - Team Versions

[Conor Ryan]

They have been, and will continue to be, short of the real thing. The '04 Tetra debacle was a weird one. Rack and Roll really did challenge teams to engineer a better solution, and the pyramid was the worst in recent memory.

If you have time, resources and somebody who can get creative with the actual field drawings, I would encourage them to have full creative power to engineer something different. The practice field usually starts as the team drawings and goes through a few iterations before it makes its way to the field truck, but I have never seen drawings of those.

Tetras were in '05.

The pyramid was especially horrible since the corners were not representative of the actual field. Teams that were only planning to hang off the bottom rung could go with a simple horizontal bar, but teams that wanted more than that were hard pressed to practice.
