Has anyone purchased the new VEX Portable Competition Field Perimeter yet? The website says “Ships Mid January or later”. I want to buy it, but I don’t want to place the order if it’s going to be out of stock for months.

I believe they were used at the Skills field(s) at Kalahari. Some teams that attended may be able to provide some feedback

We just got two of them into the shop. I was able to pick a wall segment (1/4 of the total field) up with one arm, it’s much, much lighter than the old walls. Assembly is quick as well, I think that it should be as fast or faster than assembling individual wall segments, and much faster with multip…

I would really appreciate if they will sell the tile and perimeter bags separately. I run league events at different schools and venues so I am constantly hauling fields around and often have to assemble them alone and in a hurry. So these new portable fields look like they would be perfect, but w…

[image] jwittenb: do I really want to show up at all our VRC events with big bags that say “AndyMark FIRST Tech Challenge”? Well, unlike FRC, whose participants often have a “FIRST or Nothing” attitude (there are exceptions, and I know some more mature-thinking teams that run both VEX and FIR…

Umm, I think both @jwittenb and I @foster are interested in the perimeter bags. This is the bag from AndyMark that he’s referencing. FIRST Tech Challenge Perimeter Panel Bags - AndyMark, Inc Now I’m excited to see the magicians flourish over the perimeter bags. All you need is a SKU!

We used these field perimeters for our state championship on the skills fields. While the strap and push button assembly is convenient, we ran into the issue of having the tiles end up too large to fit within the base of the fields, so we had to open the bottom of the field wall. In addition, in or…

[image] meepmeepme: One of the field wall segments already has a large (4"?) crack on the flanged part which guides itself onto the joint pieces. Wow, and on the skills field too. I was really hoping these would hold up to competition use much better than that.
