AndyMark FRC Field Perimeter

This is a version of the FIRST Robotics Competition Field Perimeter. In 2015 FIRST® determined that this Field Perimeter has the ‘fit and function’ necessary for use in official FRC capacity. Any changes required for use in subsequent years will be the responsibility of the purchaser. AndyMark, not FIRST®, is responsible for product quality, warranty, safety, and all other issues related to this product.

The intent of offering this perimeter is to provide hardware for FRC District and Regional events, FRC teams and communities to have a high quality FRC field for competition, expo, practice, and demonstration purposes. This perimeter includes side rails, gates, alliance stations, and four (4) shipping crates. The perimeter does not include field carpet, electronics, nor the game specific items for each year.

Design Goals:
We set these goals when designing the field perimeter:

• Provide similar or better game play experience from robot and drivers' perspective
• As easy to set up as current field perimeter
• As strong or stronger than current field perimeter
• 1/3 less parts as current field perimeter
• 1/2 less road cases as current field perimeter
• Lighter weight compared to current field perimeter
• No welded joints (very difficult to fix in the field)
• Anodized aluminum extrusions
• As easy to integrate wiring as current field perimeter allows
• Sell this field at a dramatically lower price than current production options.

Approval:
We are happy to announce that in 2015 FIRST® had determined that this Field Perimeter has the ‘fit and function’ necessary for use in an official capacity for FIRST Robotics Competition events.
