coaches,


I was telling don smith on the phone i would not mind having a board that was 100 inches long. The question was how wide would it be. NEED THE ROOM FOR THAT THOUGH !. I have mega megawatts wheels spinning on making retractable scale size boards. ( I OWE HIM A PHONE CALL ). he mentioned using Dowels and you can slide two halves of a boards frame up and down the dowel to the desired length.

I think it may work, * put to long straws on a desk or table(To represent the dowels). Take a pack of gum(The 12 piece packs with the box covering it. You know, the frost or artic blast or vanilla ice). Cut the box open to make two halves with inside on box facing upward. Put the two ends of the box on each ends on the straw. Slide it up and down straw to whatever lenght you want. The longer the DOWELS (Straws for now). The longer the field can be. cut sheet metal to desired legnth and lie down field cover. i guess you can have 5 different boards in one if you lke. You would just need 5 different field covers in various sizes. Megawattz said you probably can put two motors under the base of both halve's. easier to store when not playing. Somewhat of a scale size board kit. just put together when ready to use.

**** better yet, just take 2 packs of gum and cut the "vanilla ice name" face off. lie down so the inside of box is facing up.

*** if magawattz wheels are turning, i think he could pull this off. he said he is looking for portability. MAYBE SOMEDAY WE CAN SEE A TOURNAMENT WITH ALL, SCALE SIZE BOARDS.

QUICK QUESH, ON A REALLY BIG BOARD, WHAT IS THE WIDEST YOU CAN HAVE YOU OFFENSIVE LINEMAN SET UP. HOW WIDE CAN THE SPACE BE BETWEEN EACH LINEMAN WITH IT GETTING TO CRAZY. (2 BASE LENGTHS ?)
