The classic AndyMark Robot Competition Table is now updated for ease of transport and use. Since 2004, AndyMark has been providing innovative products and services for the competition robotics community. With our experience with the FIRST® LEGO® League Program, combined with our engineering expertise, AndyMark has designed and manufactured a 3-piece table that can be easily stored and transported while maintaining the robustness found in many DIY plywood designs.
This table is suitable for use in the FIRST LEGO League Robot Game.
This table was designed in collaboration with Jay Kinzie.
Design Features:
Our new and improved lightweight table is nearly half the weight of wooden designs!
The AndyMark Table meets all of the core design requirements of an Official Table to be used in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge program.
Safe for adults and students to compete and practice
- Robust enough for students and small robots to interact with surfaces without damage
- Sizing matches current 4ft x 8ft FIRST LEGO League Challenge table specifications and plywood design
- Provides a flat, black surface for robots to drive on
- Provides a uniform wall profile for robots to interact with that matches current FLL Challenge specifications
- Works well as a single table for practice and also side-by-side for tournaments
In addition to the core design requirements, the AndyMark Table has additional features that have been developed through listening to input from the robotics community that makes this a great improvement over the plywood DIY tables.
- Quickly disassembles into three sections for easy storage at home, in a classroom, or between tournaments
- Sections fit into small vehicles for transportation
Sections are able to be carried by one student
- Critical parts stay together after initial assembly to ensure a consistent playing surface
One Phillips head screwdriver (four screws) needed to reassemble sections for use
- The bolted design allows for walls to be adjusted to ensure they are always in the correct location
For Tournament Play:
- Designed for use on a standard 8ft banquet table (for one Robot Competition Table)
- Integrated latches securely hold two tables together in all directions
- If using two tables together, it is recommended to use 3 banquet tables for more stability underneath

Warranty Information:
AndyMark, Inc. warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship, provided any issues are reported in writing or the product is returned within 30 days after the date of receipt. This warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by or resulting from repairs, service, or alterations to the product or any of its parts, or damage or defects caused by negligence, accident, abuse, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, or maintenance of this product or its parts.
When not in use, AndyMark recommends that the Robot Competition Table be stored flat in a cool (60-80F), dry (>50% humidity), area. The boards must be protected from any direct contact with water. They must be stacked flat - boards should not be stored vertically, unless ground contact can be avoided. The board will expand or shrink under variable humidity conditions. Tables that are improperly stored, exposed to water, or stored in areas with high fluctuations in temperature or humidity may warp over time and will not be covered under AndyMark's warranty.
The perimeter attachment method allows for the perimeter to be loosened, and readjusted to accommodate any natural warpage in the MDF due to changes in temperature and humidity.
