Arguably, you can go to a local carpet store and look for some low pile carpet and it should be good enough to replicate the game's playing surface for practice and design purposes. This is what my team has done in previous carpet years and it works fine for us.

But, you can find the supplier for FIRST specific carpet here: http://www.ssmills.com/

Re: New Flooring

Is there any more specific types of carpet that can replicate the new flooring. low pile carpet is a very general type. Thanks could any one post a picture maybe?

Re: New Flooring

It's low pile, high traffic carpet. It's the same type of carpet used in office buildings and other commercial applications. Just look for any photos of the playing field prior to 2009, they all used the same type of carpet (but colored grey not green).

Re: New Flooring

Our school has some parts of some rooms covered in carpet which we have used in the past to test on carpet. It seems close enough. This year we built some bumps so we had to buy more carpet, which we stapled to the bump.
