[FTC]: Anyone know the actual height of the puck rack?

Anyone know the actual height of the puck rack?

Before anyone says "Read the manual"... I have, several times, and looked at the field drawings (the latest one).

The length of the rack mount, and the position of the retaining bolt is defined.

The problem is that the rack stand doesn't sit on the ground. It actually slides down and fits onto a vertical portion of the wall structure (see the slot cut in the bottom of the support).

So the actual height of the puck tube mounting bolt is 1' 6 3/8" above the bottom of the support, but who knows how high off the ground the actual support sits.

It could be 1/8" or it could be 1"

OK, I'm probably being more finiky than I should, but It annoys me that we have these "field drawings" but they don't really let you build a replica.

eg:
How high are the field sides? Show me on the drawing?
What are the specs for the mat material? brand, part number, color etc. (I know, but not because it's on the drawings).
After messing up the puck holder colors last time, it looks like they've messed up the starting position tape colors this time.

I'd post in the Q&A but it doesn't like my authentication....
It logs me in, but won't let me post... I think I'm just on too many forums
