Hey, cool your jets. It's exciting to speculate about a 5-sided field paved in a 3-inch layer of jello, but here's something else to consider: when we make major changes to the size, layout, and surfaces of the playing field, we push our community away from its objectives. A field that changes shape every year identifies FRC clearly as a game, not a sport. Sports have the power to change culture in a way that games do not.

(Also, the AndyMark field was probably developed independent of any knowledge of the 2015 game.)
