Go to Post The point of outreach isn't to "win" a "game" so I'm not sure what you hope to achieve with such a concept. The idea of "beating" another team in terms of outreach is fundamentally flawed. - dcarr [more]

Re: 2006 FVC Game field photos?

I haven't seen any photos of the Hangin'-A-Round field in the metal, but you might profit from a nice wide shot (try http://www2.usfirst.org/vex/2006/200...escription.pdf ) or the game animation.

Or, alternatively, build some mock-ups of the parts. You can build the goals, both low and high, for about the price of a couple of twelve-packs of Mountain Dew (hint: when it says Lexan, think hardboard or luan), and the center structure can be made for cheap as well. Look here for the field Bill of Materials and some options for low-cost fields.

You mean luan... Luan is a lighter, and cheaper, wood product than plywood.

Plywood is made up of 3, 5, or 7 plys of wood shaved off a log and glued together with each layer having the grain running in opposite directions for strength and stability.

Luan is made up of two outer layers of wood shaved similar to plywood. The big difference is the core of the product which seems to be an end grain slice of wood which is just a filler to make the product the appropriate thickness but doesn't add much strength. Luan is generally made of softer wood than plywood, but is has a much smoother, sanded, surface than plywood.

Bottom line, its cheaper than 1/4" plywood, smoother surface, and strong enough for Vex.
