[FTC]: Vex field tiles vs. Soft Tiles

[l0jec]

I believe the Soft Tiles are 5/8" thick. If you're on a budget and don't mind using 3/8" thick tiles, you can save a ton by getting near-identical tiles through one of the Amazon.com sellers such as: We Sell Mats

I've used these for a practice field and they have the same smooth-side on the other side of the tiles.

$89.99 beats the heck out of Vex's $189.99!

You get what you pay for. The VEX field tiles are much thicker, nearly 7/8 of an inch , so the price is higher. I recently needed to measure one because I used it as part of a project cutting them out into stars using a water jet cutter. 3/8" thick may work for your application saving you some money.
