(...) Okay, I'm confused. How can an 8' x 10' track be centered on a 4' by 8' surface? What is the actual width of the track? If the whole track fits on a 4' x 8' surface, then I would assume the width must be less then 2'. Gus (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Seems clear to me :) there will be magic.... Actually - looks like a really wacky typo. Hopefully Steve H or Brian D jumps in to clarify for certain. But, I believe the full track layout is 4' x 8'. So, the track itself is just under 2' wide. (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Gus, 1) Steve has the track...just got it a few days ago...I doubt he gets a chance to make any accurate/repeatable readings in the time available. 2) The track will be available to roll out on the floor (or wherever) all weekend long.

(...) First, it's not a straight gradient. We wanted to make it with about three inches of black in the middle & the same in white on the outside. That gives the maximum range in the area where the robots will race. So, here are the numbers (nxt (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)
