Velcro holds the field to the carpet, and there's quite a lot of square yards of the stuff doing it. Good luck getting that much holding area on a robot.
Zip ties on the field are used for wire management, not structure. Unless you're talking about the lexan side panels on the original field design, in which case you might be interested to find out that several of them do break on average every event, and they have been replaced with rivets in the new design.
