Height of Mini Bot tower base

[davidpoduska]

I can find CAD drawings of all the field parts but not the actual height of the base! I see it is 30 wide 1/2 inch plywood with a 1.75 inch hole and 8 - 2 x 6 supports but I do not know what is the floor to top of base height.

I didn't measure at the Kettering comp. as I assumed it would be easy to find but no such luck. I am assuming 12- 15 inches.

Thanks

Somewhere I read 12 inches.

The base itself is 12" from the main carpet of the playing surface. There's a field protector that goes around the base, with a layer of carpet over it. The protector+carpet is about 1/4" higher than the main carpet. In addition, there is a gentle slope going up to the base of the tower, so that right next to the base is about 1/2" above the main carpet playing surface.

Plan on a minimum of 11" so you're not disappointed...
