What kind of practice space does a FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge team need?

Teams need enough space to build and test the robot on the FIRST^® LEGO^® League Challenge playing field (contained in the Challenge Kit). The playing field is a 8′ x 4′ mat upon which LEGO^® pieces and various elements are arranged to create the Challenge missions.

Additional materials (such as two-by-fours) must be purchased separately to build a border around the playing field. Setup can be as simple as clearing an area on the floor, or your team may opt to build an official FIRST^® LEGO^® League Challenge table (see the Challenge rules for details). Some teams have found it advantageous to share a playing field with other teams in their area.
