  • Description
  • Specifications
  • Documentation
  • This is the official FIRST Tech Challenge Perimeter. This perimeter may be referenced as am-0481, am-0481a, or am-0481b in documentation. This is reusable from year to year and does not include soft tiles, game-specific hardware, components, or game pieces. This "b" revision is compatible with the previous "a" revision, meaning "b" version corners and panels can be used as replacement in "a" version perimeters.

    The perimeter is comprised of eight hinged panels and four straight panels. Once assembled, the perimeter creates an 11 feet 9 inch by 11 feet 9 inch square enclosure. The hinged corners and quick release pins make for easy assembly, requiring no tools. Side panels include a built-in wire way for easy cable management.

    An adjustable Perimeter Strap (am-2270a) placed under this playing surface help keep the walls square during game play.

    Included Hardware:
    What’s New?

    The fastening method for fixing the polycarbonate sheets to the aluminum rails has changed. The previous mechanical press fit has been removed, and rivets now hold the polycarbonate sheet in place. Each Panel (am-2160b) is now comprised of two toothless aluminum extrusion rails (am-2556a), one sheet of 3 mm polycarbonate (am-2582a), and six rivets (am-1226).

    We have made this change to make the panels more consistent, as well as to allow for our customers to replace pieces of a panel as needed.

    Additional Perimeter Panels (not included):
    Corner Assemblies consist of two panels attached with hinges. Individual Panels and corner assemblies are available as Panels am-2160b and am-2600b respectively. If you wish to build a custom size arena for non tournament use, combine any number of corner assemblies or panels using two Field Links (am-2580a) and four Quick Release Pins per intersection.

    Field Flooring & Soft Tiles (not included):
    FIRST Tech Challenge tournaments are conducted inside this perimeter kit with Soft Tiles making up the floor. These are not included with the perimeter kit, but are available as a Full Field Set of Soft Tiles (am-2499-36) or as individual Soft Tiles (am-2499).

    Storage and Transportation (not included):
    This perimeter and soft tiles that are available separately can be stored and transported easily in bags designed specifically for them. Two Panel Bags (am-2313a) fit a standard tournament size perimeter. Two Soft Tile Bags (am-2500b) fit a tournament's set of soft tiles, each holding eighteen tiles.

    Shipping:
    This perimeter will ship in two 52 inch x 14 inch x 8 inch boxes, each 40 pounds. The total weight for this product, both boxes included, is 80 pounds.

    Not Included:
    Soft tiles for field flooring are not included within the perimeter kit. This perimeter kit does not include any game-specific hardware, components, or game pieces.

Field Perimeters, bent edges

We received the perimeters and, on both boxes, the reinforced paper tape at the folded end of the box split open. One was totally open. As a result, some of the perimeter wall edges were bent down and had to be lifted and straightened in order to insert the Panel Rail Links

Review of the Field

Great quality, easy build, just have to make sure you find a level floor or it can be a pain to put together.
Really wish they would put some type of leveling screws at the bottom for uneven flooring making the build process easier...

Be aware: may need a drill and file to fully assemble. Almost half of the pin holes were too small. We had to redrill them so they were large enough for the lock pins to even fit. We also had to file a few spots so that the bar slid in properly to align the holes.

Once assembled, the field functioned as needed.

AndyMark is 5 stars

We run two FTC Middle School teams with limited manufacturing capabilities. The ability to purchase ready to assemble items is a game changer for us. Quality products.

Great Kit

We were using a DIY set up but this really helps us be consistent in our preparations. It is well built and should last a long time.
