Re: Rack Construction
so unless you buy and make your own the only "rack" available for testing is the one at the competition sight?

Re: Rack Construction
Pretty much. Even if you could successfully build a rack, it'll be very difficult to test real competition conditions.

Re: Rack Construction
I have just finished figuring out all the materials and the estimated amount of each material needed to built the rack. If anyone would like this information (I have it in a spread sheet form) please feel free to email me at kligotti@comcast.net.
Also, on it i have some places to get the materials and the estimated costs, although some of these materials can be gotten at many different places. |

Re: Rack Construction
You should consider contacting other teams in the area and seeing if any of them wants to build a mutually owned rack with your team. You could also see if a local team already building a rack wouldn't mind your team trying it out for a little while just to see what it's like in person.

Re: Rack Construction
Well, we have a rack but what good is it if there are not enough ringers and keepers to go around. Can I find a supplier of the rings on the FIRST website? If not, can somebody tell me where we can order some more. Thanks.
