Go to Post Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]

Philly is always smaller, and height can be an issue there too.

I suggest modeling for 9x9x9, just so you have buffer room if you need it. =)


Oh thought you might, it was worth a shot

I do agree with Sara though make the pits 9x9x9 that way you have extra room that you can use for aisles and such if you should need it.

Re: Pit Size

Can anyone PM me with the size at Silicon Valley and Las Vegas? My friend is drawing up our pit layout, but he can't find the size and my cursory look over hasn't turned up anything. Thank you!

Re: Pit Size

Wow thanks for all the help guys. I think we are gonna go with the 9x9x9 design and maybe make the sides extend the other foot if we can afford the space.

Re: Pit Size

quick warning, your one team may get shorted on size, all pits at a regional aren't the same size. At MWR our pit was 8ft 4in wide and 10ft deep, while everyone around us had a 10ft wide pit. We still fit everything it was a little cramped though.
