Modifying AndyMark Field for future games

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.


I think this question might be about modifying, say, a Recycle Rush field for Stronghold. In that case, the human player station and castle, as well as defense slots must be added. I believe the OP is curious how teams do that.
