Josh, how big do the fake buildings need to be and how many of them?

#18  

Right now we are looking at 4 buildings and I believe 30 inches is more than enough for building height. Im really glad this is going to be indoors so that weather does not play a serious factor in what we need to bring to have a fun and presentable setup..

#19  

What about Balsa wood for the building material? Balsa wood panels could be cut to size, painted, & transported; then put together fairly quickly with hot glue, onsite.

#20  

Well balsa costs lots of money. Maybe home depot 1/8 plywood or something can be used to make panels.

#21  

I was thinking of that foam core poster board.

#22  

Do the streets need to be wide enough for two bots to go down them side by side, or one bot to go down them with a little room to manuveur?

#23  

Streets must be large enough for two bots to pass each other without hitting. That should reduce how often bots hit the buildings lol.

#24  

I've decided just to use heavy boxes as buildings and paint them to look cool lol. This weekend I pick up pcv to start framing everything. I plan on bringing 3 tables to display robots and one table specifically for laptops to link to the air soft robots in the arena area. Anyone have suggestions. Is there anyone besides me , Bret and Alequa going to make it? We would love to have you.
