Re: How to acquire official-style FIRST Field?
Some teams have "deeper pockets" than others......
1) Join together with other teams in your area and form a "regional coalition". Then go find/rent an empty retail storefront during build season. Go in together to but the common field elements (carpet, sides, etc). They don't have to be out of the exact same "official" components.
2) Approach FIRST about renting ONLY the controllers for a short period of time.
Doing a joint effort with possible time slots for public and private practice/scrimmages will only help to heighten the general awareness of FIRST robotics in your area,
