This is a more affordable scratch and dent version of the FIRST Tech Challenge Perimeter.
This perimeter WILL have defects.
Possible defects include but are not limited to:
- Scratched or chipped powder coat
- Scratched plastic
- No protective sheets on plastic
- Bent or dented rails
- Bent or dented hinges
- Misaligned top and bottom rails
- Rails or plastic that are the wrong length by up to 1/2"
- Corner sections that are warped or angled
- Holes that are too small, too large, or mislocated
If you have holes that are too small or mislocated you may need to use a drill and a ~3/16" drill bit to open up the hole in the rail / panel link to allow the pins to pass through. We recommend fully assembling the panels and getting as many pins in as possible, then drilling through the rail and panel link together, and pinning each hole one at a time. If you are planning to disassemble the perimeter after this, you may also want to mark which link goes where, since once they are drilled they will likely only fit back in that one location.
This perimeter is reusable from year to year and does not include soft tiles, game-specific items, or scoring elements. It is comprised of four hinged panel pairs 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.
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.

Corner assemblies consist of two panels attached with hinges. Individual panels (am-2160b) and corner assemblies (am-2600b) are available seperatly. 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 (am-2579) 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.
