After many hours of toil, broken limbs, pain, and just plain 'ol exhaustion, Team 25 has completed its field setup in record time. We believe this will give us a ‘ballin’ advantage. Pictures included.

Hmmm… I can’t seem to get the links to work…
We’re re-uploading the images to imageshack now. They should work when we get them up again. 
Wow, that’s hilarious
very nice!
Now do legos! haha
Great job you guys! I am so proud of your work!!
now all you got to do is build your robot!
I like the creativeness.
whoa, wasn’t expecting k’nex
FKL!!! (First K’Nex League)
Very nice!
I was fooled by the thread title; you got me. When I saw it, I went, “What the…?”–our team is still getting supplies to build the field with; we haven’t even started building yet.
Funny, we actually talked about making a K’Nex field today…now for the K’Nex robots! (I wonder why there isn’t a microcontroller sold by makers of K’Nex; they could easily wipe LEGO out if they did it right)

I believe at one time they did have a robotics type thing, and although it wasn’t all that great, it still was something. One thing I liked about the classic k’nex was that there was only so many pieces, and unlike legos, they didn’t come out with special pieces for each new kit (not so in the later kits…)
If you look closely at the pictures, you’ll notice that the orange rods are the ones from the roller coaster kit (the ones with the little things that make sure the track is always the same width).
Man, the driver and human player on 25 are UGLY
Dude…whoever’s deck that is - nice deck man.
ooo…composites
yeah i totally thought you guys had already built the real field.
I wouldn’t have believed anyone else but 25.
when I read the thread title, didn’t surprise me. I was just like “pfft. figures. they’ve had almost 8 hours.”
Had me fooled. I said “man, they must have a connection to the game committee (Big Mike) or something…” Thanks for the laugh.
K’nex are the BEST awesome job guys
Two questions to the fine folks on 25…is this to scale? And what did you use to suspend the spider legs? Looks like string, but I’m not sure.
Here is a link to the first image, since the original link is broken.
The field is not to exact scale. We first built the rack, and then estimated and sized the rest of the field accordingly. String was used to suspend the spider legs, with some rainbow string serving as the center “chain”. The rack is also built so that it can move within the scaled radius of 3 feet.
Note the driver and human player-they are to scale! 
Haha, we did the same except with legos. We even had some people having timed practice games to develop strategy and such.
