Answered: Field Height

[6891Jackpot]

While reading through the Manual for this year’s game, we noticed this on page 24:

Field Height: At many tournaments the playing field will be placed on the floor. Some tournament
organizers may choose to elevate the playing fields by 24” to 36”. At the 2016 VEX Robotics World
Championship the platforms will be 24” high. For safety reasons, no drive team members will be
allowed to stand on any sort of object during a match, despite the presence of raised fields.

Will there be boxes accommodated to the elevated fields? What other implications might this have?

The field is not elevated on boxes, it will be elevated on a platform.

This is a fairly vague question. Please try asking a more specific question and we’d be happy to answer.
