whats the thickness of the inner goal?
The inner goal is made from 4" sch-40 PVC pipe which has an outer diameter of 4.500 in with a wall thickness of 0.237. It has an inner diameter of 3.998in.
Thanks for the info.
How about some teaser pictures from everyone else? I will have one posted shortly. 
Did these drawings come out yet? Have you built the field yet? Is it ready for ruckus? My kids want to get working but I don’t have ramp sizes yet. Will you need a practice field for ruckus? Let me know if I can help.
I have obtained a Vex kit and have commenced building(with Cormier to help me) and have created a fairly solid bot…thats all i am gonna say. Some questions…
- Will i have time to do this as well as being on the SparX field team?
- Can i make my desicion and pay at the Ruckus?
-
yes. the vex game will not conflict with FRC playing
-
yes. although we would appreciate as much notice as possible so match lists can be generated.
just mark him and your bot down for competitors.
speaking of which you can now register online here http://ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com/vex/
Yes please make sure you register online!! Right now we plan on running it during one of the longer breaks (lunch or dinner) so it wont conflict with FRC play… but if we have to
Also note that Registration is only $10, what a deal! lol, and you can pay online via paypal if you want!
Hey Dylan Gramlich, the official sign-up for the vex Game is here http://ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com/vex/
Good Luck man!
I hear that there might be a Canadian entry. Can’t say were I heard though.
I cant’t wait to see the game in action at the ruckus!
Same’t here man.
Where are we having this field set up, in the Thomas Gym? Not sure that everything will fit, (Teehee). There should be a field set up in a cafeteria or something, to occompany everyone and the Vex game also.
Questions: Does anyone know the field layout/location in Thomas? Where will the fields be?
Correct me if i am wrong but the field will just be moved onto the existing FRC field, the FRC field will be held in the Gym and the pits in the Field House. again correct me if i am wrong.
will there be awards or anything?
Why? You don’t have a chance of winning anyway.
eh.
I hope you are all getting your vex bots ready for the competition, I know i am 
I would like to ask that anyone planning to compete please sign up on the website. I am going to be making up match sheets Friday night and would like to know how many people i am actually going to have. It only takes about a min to do and I would really appreciate it.
Two questions…
- will the field or a field be there on friday night/and can we use it to make some last minute adjustments?
2)where will the balls be starting at the begining of a match(against the wall, scattered on each side, ect.)and how many total will there be?
thats more like 4 questions but i guess it works as 2…kinda
- maybe…I am not sure when it is being brought over. But it will be free saturday morning
2)60 (read the rules :P) the balls are located in a rectangular pattern 2 deep by 15 long parrallel on the back wall centered and located on the outter goals.
