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 Field Tiles & Perimeter  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 four sections: 
 

1.  Field Overview 
2.  Field Bill of Materials 
3.  Field Specifications 
4.  Field Assembly Instructions 

 
There  is  also  an  accompanying  STEP  file  which  can  be  imported  into  most  3D  modeling 
programs (i.e. Autodesk Inventor). This 3D model not only shows the “official” setup of a 

VEX 

Add It Up

 Competition field, but also includes detailed models of all the individual field elements. 

 
For additional game-play detail, please refer to the
