2009 LA regional - about size of the pits

[SpaceOsc]

3.9.3.3 Space Regulations
Each team is allotted approximately the same amount of workspace at an event, usually
about 10’ by 10’ by 10’; however, the size will vary from event to event, and in many
cases the space is smaller. Be sure your equipment will fit in a space smaller than those
dimensions. In all cases, the height cannot exceed 10’. This includes the height of signs,
flags, banners, etc. It is not gracious to expand your area. Keep your equipment and team members within
your assigned area and do not “grow” into the aisle or undesignated space. If your team is too large to fit into the allotted space, encourage your team to leave the area to scout other teams and/or to watch the matches.

Thank you Wetzel and SpaceOsc, but, as the manual says, in some cases the size of the pit can vary, and should be smaller than 10' x 10' x 10'.For this, I'd like to know if some team that participate on LA regional could be post a picture of the pit.

We're from Brazil, and every year we have many problems to build a good pit...

If somebody could post a picture, the team #1860 will be thankful.
By the way, thanks so much!

The smallest I ever heard of is 8' x 8'
