Field Weight

[dragonshark]

So I was looking into making a field riser and was wondering how much the field weighed, and how you made yours or if you bought it and from where?

we use desk to rise the field up. the vex iq field isn’t too heavy so it can be supported by desk

Robosource has one for roughly 800 dollars.

I made one using a Zillow 14" queen sized Smart Base and used some heavy-duty cardbord to cover any holes.

We found the cheapest way is to buy plastic storage racks, disassemble them into layers, and put the field on top. Make sure it is not wobbly, as in Full Volume we had to reset the red cube every 5 seconds because it kept falling, off. I don’t think that will be an issue this year though.

Alright thanks for all the ideas really appreciate. Although does anyone know the field weight in pounds?

For things not publicly known, it might help to reach out to VEX if you haven’t already.

Does anybody know the actual weight of the field?

That’s what I really want to know I guess I could weigh one field tile, one edge piece, and one corner then do some multiplication, but one would think vex says it somewhere.
