Default FORCEFIELD

Coaches,
The new home of the Airohawks, Team G-FORCE/Oregon State Beavers and KU Jayhawks "FORCEFIELD".


Overall Dimensions - 26 x 51

24 ga. Sheet metal - 24 x 48

Playing surface - 23.5 x 48 "Larue" vinyl cover

Single A/C linear motor - positioned dead center 50 yard line. No strong side

Variable speed rotary control switch - underneath out of sight.

Four adjustable legs

Sideline area holds 25 players - The field is higher than the sidelines "holding" the players in the Coach/Team box.


The field plays well as is VERY quiet. I decided on a generic permanent vinyl cover so the field could be used for any team. I can then install removeable covers with Team logos for special games. The wood frame needs holes filled, sanded and apply a finish. I have some additional plans for field dressings. I will update with photos as I complete the work.

The field is on is a Tornado Alley EFS game table made by Kansas Bill. Anytime I have to play on a table without the light switches....uuugggghh I miss em. No passin the switch.

Default sweet big field.

great looking field i will love one of them that size, but i was wondering about the positioning of the motor. with the field being that big and the motor at the 50 yard line wouldn't that be the most livest part of the field with action but the vibration dying the further away from center creating a dead spot on each end of the field?. why not put two motors on that big board 1 at each end zone to provide enough vibration to be equally distributed over the whole field to eliminate dead spots? or does it have dead spots?. great field though just wondering why not 2 motors on each end for maximum vibration throughout the entire board? i also love the switches on the table. that is very creative, great job.

Marty t,
NO dead zones on the FORCEFIELD. LOL Honestly I have more than enough power. The rotary control switch is very near as low as it can go at game speed. I actually had a couple of hot spots that I had to settle down. That was one of my main goals in building this field, smooth quiet even power. I think a tweak or two more and I am there.
