Is that an official FIRST field from Peachtree the robot is on? Those PVC low goals certainly aren't what I saw at events. Can someone elaborate on this?

The cord trailing across the floor is pretty good evidence that this is a practice field.

Ok that makes sense. I didn't know some regionals had practice fields that are quite similar to the real field. At the regionals I attended the practice fields were wooden and not full-sized.

The field gates are different too. The real ones are round tube.

Yep, here in Georgia we are lucky to have sponsors (Kimberly Clark?) that make a real effort on getting us realistic practice fields.

We use the Grits field (the Georgia off season event--Oct 4 Y'all come) for the practice field at the Peachtree Regional. It is sponsored by Kimberly Clark & built/maintained by a team of very dedicated volunteers.
