Re: Modifying AndyMark Field for future games
In 2015 we (Indiana) did not use all of the sections of side border for the AndyMark field to account for the HP station. This year all sections were used. This is also true for the uprights between the drivers stations.
To accommodate the 2016 Stronghold HP station we drill out rivets (5 per pin) rotated them and reattached to make 2 of the uprights per field end have one pin instead of two.
To accommodate the field lights we used a hole saw to cut a 1 3/4" hole in one side border section. We also drill 3/8" holes in the same side border lexan piece to allow for the low bar to be u-bolted in place.
There were a couple of game specific component that were designed to interface with the AndyMark field that differed from the ones for the FIRST fields.
Overall the modifications were very simple and should not be hard to reverse if necessary other than possible needing to replace two pieces of side border plastic.
