100 inch scale size board breakthrough
 
MPFLER'S

During my scientific research, i have uncovered a major breakthrough in the portable scale size board for all league play. Using these materials, you can make the board any size you want. Yes it is portable and can be taken anywhere. I asked a few handmen/builders will this work and they replied absolutely. As long as the placement of the motors are correct. It can be taken apart in maybe 20 seconds and put back together in the same time frame. WIDE OPEN GAME PLAY HERE WE COME. You will ned to have a vynl cover made to the size you want. I still will need the guidance of

1)megawatz (finalizing board structure)
2)5-13(making borders)
3)pitcoulture(motor expertise)
4)weirdwolf (designing and sizing any field cover you want.)

This in fact will be a breakthrough for all minature football

storage in house, just seperate the pieces (board) and place under bed. Place another piece behind a coach if it is against a wall, roll up the field cover and put it in a closet and wallah, your notstuck with this big piece of addl furniture in your house WHILE NOT PLAYING.

It was only a matter of time before i saw what was needed.

let me double check the pricing for what you need re the board. I think 2 pieces should be enough and should range about $100 to $150.

***adding the motors (not sure of cost)

having a cover made, 60 inches to 100 inches, whatever you want. Not sure what a mom and pop print shop will charge to print this.

Once i speak with mega about this, maybe he will begin to make more and more wood stadiums to surround this. That was a nice look.

I like the half stadium look that is used in detroit. If reg still want's to do this, that would be great.


thanx

Levelling
 
It's the only thing I'm curious about...I believe the board will bend under his own weight. Your frame will have to be very sturdy, and you'll certainly have to find a solution for good balance between levelling and vibration.

The vynil field cover will be expensive, for sure :D and speaking of the game itself, the defensive strategy will be really hard I guess.

It is an impressive project. I've got a big board, around 45x25", and it 's already big and not so convenient, no matter the big advantages it brings to the game :o

I think its fine to design and build any size field you want and enjoy. I personally wouldn't go over the actual scale as it relates to the average player. This makes the field the size of a McGhee board, which is 68 inches long. Anything over that and you could start playing with real McFarlane figures! :D

woah
 
100 inches?! wow that would be amazing to see. That is like the size of a dining room table. :eek:

the TDK has plenty of leg to kick on that size... would the TDQ have enough arm? or would you have to go pass placement/ simulation, but it would be fun to try both ways!

Yea, the TDQ does have the arm, I think that a 100 inch board would bring the kicking more to scale, but it would really be tough to pass.
With a 100 inch board I suppose you could do real punts and kicks. ppcrn

i'm with wolf. 100 inches is WAY too big, and way out of scale. remember, 5mm = 1 foot.

100 inch long board???
 
Come on get real!!! Just another reason why its time to set standards for the hobby in regards to scale.

Dre,
In my experience building fields the optimum size is 24x48, I think you're getting way to big going 100 inches. Were running the 48x24 fields with just 1 motor and they run very well, I.E reference Michigan Joe's board he had at the Miggle convention, probably one of the better fields I have played on. I have both a 48x24, and a 39x24, both with 1 motor, and both run really good.
