what is the distance from the top of the plywood base of the goal to the center of the horizontal 1 1/4 in. aluminum pipe. Also what is the distance from the center of the same pipe to the edge of the base of the goal.

:The distance from the plywood base to the center of the horiz pipe is defined by the kee clamp fittings. If you have that you can figure it out. If we get a chance we'll measure it and post it here.

The distance from the outside edge of the plywood base to the center of the horiz pipe is another matter? This is a "Yet Another Undefined" (pronounced Ya Hoo) dimension of the now infamous field drawing. We wonder the samething and wish someone from the FIRST staff would post the dimension here or in an update! HINT HINT!

i know our team did the math and im pretty sure that we got a distance of 14.5" from the plywood to the bottom of the pipe
hope that helps

the distance from the top of the plywood to the middle of the aluminum pipe is 2.5" not as my teammate said it (i guess hes a bigger ninny than me), i hope that helps you, cause i know that when i was doing the goal math it was a real pain in the $@#$@#$@# where one thing contradicts another, gotta love how they do that on the designs

that is a very good question, and one i still working on, since i can't find any measurments at all for it anywhere, right now i made an edumacated guess at it ( i eyeballed it on the placement on the mockup) it may wok, i hope it does, i wasn't yelled at for it at least
