Getting the square footage to build a full field

The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down. - dlavery [more]

We're setting up a half-field at a mentor's warehouse. The carpet (which isn't a perfect match, but is right close) was donated by USC, who had it as surplus inventory and got it declared as junk. We glued it down to heavy cardboard from the warehouse, trimmed it up, and we should have it together right soon. Total cost for the carpet: Around $40-50 for glue and such.

Keep your eyes open--deals can be found.
