# Field Technical Documentation

This page serves as a directory for common resources related to field mechanics, networks, and overall setup. As always,
the [SSL Rules](https://ssl.robocup.org/rules/) are the authoritative source, but many items are left formally
unconstrained.

## Finding a Space

The following page provide a brief list of considerations for finding appropriate lab space to host an SSL team or an
SSL event.

- Lab Space (coming soon!)
- Competition Space (coming soon!)

## Mechanics and Materials

The following pages assist with materials and camera selection.

- [Subflooring and Carpet](field/carpet.md)
- [Camera and Lens Selection](field/cameras.md)
- [Camera Field of View Calculator](field/camera-calculator.md)

## Layout

Two reference layouts are provided. The competition layout reflects what's expected to be found at a global competition,
though smaller events may omit some functionality. The lab layout reflects a more realistic and modest setup seen at
most university or community labs for weekly practice.

- [Competition Layout](field/complayout.md)
- [Lab Layout](field/lablayout.md)

## Compute and Physical Network

See the compute page for recommended machine specifications and brands.

- [Compute](field/network/compute.md)

See the network pages below for detailed descriptions of competition networks and home lab networks.

- [Competition Network](field/network/compnetwork.md)
- [Lab Network](field/network/labnetwork.md)
