The AndyMark field has key interfaces that are identical in function to the traditional field. FIRST insisted on that before they would approve the field for competition use so that they could continue to design game elements based on those key interfaces. So for example you could use the sides of the AM field with the traditional ends or one end of the AM field and one end of a traditional field. You could potentially use some AM pieces of the sidewall with pieces from a traditional field. FIRST switched from the old side wall outriggers to the AM ones for its fields, made possible by the fact that the interfaces between the individual pieces of the side share the same basic interface. Yes the AM side puts a round tube in a square hole but the size of the tube is the same as the traditional field.
