Its been a while since I saw the arena - I think it is 4.8M square, which is four 1.2 by 1.2M wall panels. Another thing we did was put wooden 50 x 90mm bumpers around the base of the walls. It frequently saved the walls from damage but bots got stuck under the wood and sometimes even embedded in it.
In hindsight, we should probably have used construction more like the QLD walls, with polycarb panels permanently screwed to a metal tube frame. For simplicity, you might look at a small 2.4M square arena, which would allow you to make the walls from a single sheet of plastic with a tube frame. It might be a bit small but having just four panels that bolt together at the corners would be easy to make and assemble. For an arena this small, you could probably make the roof from panels very similar to the walls and keep the arena at floor level, with overhead viewing mostly through the roof. You could even do with out a door and just lift off a roof panel to get into the arena.
You will still need something that can take 2.4M long panels, like a trailer or a delivery van. A 2.4M square arena would store quite compactly - just eight 2.4 by 1.2M panels. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion
