Hello Guys, Thought of posting here to get some help. We are taking some leads in introducing Robotics programs at one of my daughter’s school (Bolingbrook High School) which they do not have. School has funding issues among various other things. We are donating EDR Superkit ($1500) to BHS to st…

I’ve removed a phone number from the OP, and requested that information be exchanged through DM.

If you’re willing to do some work, you can also build the low cost field perimeter from PVC pipe and hardboard. The materials can be purchased at your local hardware store/home center pretty cheaply, so you can save quite a bit of money compared to buying the real thing.

If an alumni could donate a field that would work the best. If that is not an option, there were cheap fields built in the past: [image] Cheap turning point Field Hello Vex Forum, My name is Manuel Rosado and I am the president of the JWU Vex Robotics Club from Johnson & Wales University team …

Thank you. We will definitely try.

Thank you for the suggestions. We will try too. Do you mind sending file for 3D-printing ( patnaikr@hotmail.com ) . I will see what the cost will be to see if it is doable. Thx.

It makes sense to 3D print field elements like the edges of the floor goals or structural elements of the towers. I don’t have 3D models for those. Does anyone have? It is best to buy the genuine game objects (cubes) from VEX. You don’t want 3D prints that could significantly differ from the real g…

How did you manage to make it so similar to the real field? I’m having trouble even just building the half field as it’s hard to position the pipes into their connecters. I’ve even used a dremble tool, and applied WD40. What did you use to make that field?

Thanks. Per Organization, it is half the cubes (18) but not 36 that you mentioned for that price ($150)

It is @Manuel from team JWU1, see their original post: Cheap turning point Field Nice build quality, isn’t it?

there should be a low-cost forum; i think a lot of people would benefit and it seems like plenty of people have been extremely creative.

Donating some of VEX EDR sets to Schools if not needed!

The most important is to get tiles that match official vex tiles the best:

Then you could split the cost on the field elements with one or two other teams in your area.
