I have some of the colored tiles (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green) from Lowes that I use in our PVL H-A-R field; and I would gladly loan them to you, but obviously you want the gray ones. Sorry, but I don't have any of the gray ones.

Re: Potomac Vex League (PVL) Events

Thanks everybody for answering my plea for field components. Blake directed me to cheap tiles, so I'm satisfied for now. I may hit you up for the practice field at some point, Blake.

Does Lowes sell any gray ones? Are they found in the flooring section? I'm not seeing Softiles online at lowes.com.

Re: Potomac Vex League (PVL) Events

MD, DC, PA and Virginia teams (anyone else if they don't mind long drives),

The Dec 8 PVL Tournament (Quad Quandary) scheduled for Westminster, MD has been moved to Woodlawn HS (west side of Baltimore) on Dec 15. The event will be held in cooperation with FTC 388 and FRC 768, and the College of Southern MD. It will be run much like the Battlefield event that was held Nov 17. The event is open to any team with a Quad Quandary-legal robot. FTC registration not required and there is no entry fee. Teams may participate with more than one robot. Every team will receive an award for participation.

If interested, you can email me: davidfranc12 at my yahoo account (@yahoo.com)
