The key interfaces and dimensions between the different sections are common between the AM and original field perimeter.

FIRST liked the AM outriggers better than the originals so they have actually purchased the AM ones and now use them with their original fields. We use them in the PNW with our original fields too.

You could use an AM side system with the original end panels or the other way around.

FIRST has designed around those key interfaces for many years. So it is unlikely that you would have to modify anything to work with future games.

FIRST doesn't want to modify their fields and to the best of my knowledge have not since it was introduced. They just substitute the game specific sections for the standard sections of just leave out standard sections. FIRST wants to design one game specific element that will work with either field since they know that there are districts that use the AM perimeter and they want to ship the same thing to every district.

So it is unlikely that you would have to modify an AM field to work with future games.
