I have about 36 acres to work with - bordered by over 2500 feet of woods including several hundered 30' pine trees. We have three phase up at the road and very supportive neighbors.

( each controller is around 12" wide, 960ft /3 = 120 yards!)OK I guess I cannot add! 300 feet =100 yards! Darn new math! So you would have 3 rows of controllers goal post to goal post!

jeffandnicole Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Let's figure this out...960 controllers x 1' per controller - 960 feet.One full football field: 360 feet (100 yards + 10 yards + 10 yards = 120 yards x 3 feet per yard)360 feet + 360 feet = 720 feet.960 feet - 720 feet = 240 feet.240 feet = line at mens restroom at halftime.So there you go - 960 controllers will cover 2 football field lengths, plus the line at the bathroom at halftime. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion, just the thought of all those controllers!!!!What football field do you play on that has the goal posts on the touchdown line? It's always 10 yards back.... 100 yards and ten yards and then there's the other ten yards = 120 yards... Ding dang fuzzy math. Never makes sense. :shock: 3 x 120 = 360, only 600 feet of controller length to account for...JeffHmm maybe thats why the Cardinals never win!!!I was figuring the extra 20 yards for the goal posts in but still gooped it up hahahhaa!But i do like the halftime bathroom line measurement myself! Maybe the bigger question should be How many cases of beer is it going to take to wire these babies up and sequence them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimCanfield Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have no clue how many will help, but if you figure 24 people wiring and sequencing for 2 weeks solid working 8 hour days. Each one drinks one beer for morning break, 2 for lunch, 1 for afternoon break, then 2 more and the end of the day would equal 84 cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
