VEX Classroom Competition “Swept Away”
Copyright 2009 VEX Robotics, Inc.
Swept Away Field
Swept Away is played on an 8 ft x 8 ft field which is divided in half by a 12” tall wall. At the center of this
wall are two 18” tall trapezoidal shaped goals, one on each side of the wall. There are also two 4” tall
slots along the base of the wall. There are twelve (12) orange foam footballs and twenty-four (24) green
foam 4” soccer balls in play on the field.
The VEX Classroom Competition Field Kit (278-1004) available at VEXrobotics.com includes the entire
official Swept Away field, including the perimeter, field wall, goals, and all balls.
This official field was designed specifically for implementation in a classroom environment. Its robust
sheet-metal construction can handle all the rigors of competition. The field requires NO tools for
assembly and can be fully set up or taken apart for storage in less than five minutes.
