Low Cost Field BOM

[Elgin Clock]

FYI for those who might not have seen this yet.

Straight from the "2003 FIRST Robotics Competition Team Forum and Survey Issues and FIRST Corrective Actions"

ISSUE: Teams reported that the field used for 2003 was too expensive for them to build their own fields.

Corrective Action

• FIRST recognizes that reconstruction of field elements for 2003 was cost prohibitive for many teams. This is being taken into account in the development of the field for the 2004 game.

It was updated again, and the part number they give for the casters is close to the one they had it linked to before, but it does not exist. I have a feeling the it is a typo, but who knows since it has been updated 3 times now.

Back to the topic of Stairway, its been said before that the only reason Dave would post something like that would be if it was impossible to guess anything about the game from him. A stairway is obviously too obvious a reference, so if there are actually stairs in this game, I'm going to buy everyone a taco.

Personally, I think the reference is to poke fun at the ridiculous amount of lumber that we have to buy... you know, "And she's buuuuyyying a stairway, to heaven..."

Besides, with all this talk of Stairway, has it ever occured to anyone that maybe Dave just likes Led Zeppelin?

Tacos sound good. Just not from Taco Bell, okay?

That statement makes far too much sense for me to understand it.
