Field Corner Dimensions Missing from Field Drawings?

[Don Wright]

So...I must be missing it...

Anybody know where we can find the corner dimensions of the Regolith? We are trying to trim the corners on our field but I can't find the exact dimensions anywhere... They aren't in the new field markings and dimension files either, unless I'm just missing it...

Thanks...

I would rather find out I'm missing it from here before bugging the GDC on the Q&A...

I'll guess the design intent is to keep the exposed carpet (aptly called the Lunatic Fringe by a prominent CDer) width uniform around the regolith.

The fueling station with is shown as 4' 2-1/2" on the 2009 Arena Layout and Markings drawing. The fringe width (space between regolith and rail) is eighteen inches. Knowing those two dimensions you can construct the triangular cut-out at each regolith corner.

However, my guess above is not consistent with the detailed Launch Pad view shown on the second sheet of the 2009 Arean Layout and Markings drawing. That view seems to show that the regolith corner cut-out is NOT perpendicular to the long axis of the Launch Pad. Is this the source of your confusion?

The side carpet fringe is 18" on the sides and 24" on the ends (I'm guessing the difference is for the bumpers on the ends of the field). The cut on the corners from the drawing doesn't look parallel to the diagonal corner field pieces so there are two missing dimensions for the Regolith corner trim specification...
