FIELDS. YES FIELDS.

Okay being a FRC member and knowing your feelings on these subjects I want to know.Why is there so much blame being put on FTC? Being at the Championship the last 2 years the FTC dome field setup has remained the same. It was not their fault at all about the pit fields. It was the concert that caused the move.

Now I took a cad program and remapped the dome and I could fit 3 fields in their easily but not a 4th. So they decided to move 2 into the pits to keep it fair in a sense. NOW I am perfectly aware that those seats in the pits were more than terribly inadequate. Which may be fixed in further years.

But these arguments that yell about the $5000 entrance fee that you guys pay. FTC pays $1000 as well. that's a good chunk esp since schools with those kind of programs have much less money most of the time. FTC was made to be the easily affordable J.V. program for FIRST.
