Introduction

This document will provide detailed specifications, a bill of materials (BOM), and assembly instructions for

the Official Competition Field.

Please note that this field utilizes the VEX IQ Challenge – Full Field Perimeter & Tiles kit (228-2550)

developed by VEX Robotics. Instructions and specifications for this field perimeter are available in a

separate document, and are also important for field assembly.

This document is divided up into five sections:

1. Field Overview

2. Field Bill of Materials

3. Field Specifications

4. Field Assembly Instructions

5. Field & Game Element Kit Contents

Please note that the Field Assembly Instructions are also available for individual download. The Instructions

are broken down by major field element and correspond to a colored polybag included in the VEX IQ

Challenge – Crossover Full Field & Game Elements Kit (228-4844).

There is also an accompanying STEP file which can be imported into most 3D modeling programs. This 3D

model not only shows the “official” setup of a

VEX IQ Challenge Crossover

Competition field, but also

includes detailed models of all the individual field elements.

For additional game-play detail, please refer to the

VEX IQ Challenge Crossover

competition manual.

VEX IQ Challenge - Crossover Field Appendix Field Specifications Introduction This section will outline the specifications which are most important to teams designing a robot to compete in VEX IQ Challenge Crossover. Field components may vary slightly from event to event. This is to be expected; teams will need to adapt accordingly. It is good design practice to create mechanisms capable of accommodating variances in the field and game pieces. vexiq.com Copyright 2016, VEX Robotics Inc.
