Product Overview

AndyMark’s FIRST Tech Challenge Field Soft Tiles (am-2499) have a size variance. Some tiles are slightly smaller than tiles used during previous years. The size range is anywhere from 24 ¼” to 24 ⅜” from outside to outside of each tile. Stacked 6 wide, this ⅛” variance can be up to ¾” across an FTC field. AndyMark recommends that teams assemble their perimeter on top of an assembled 6x6 grid of tiles before cutting off any tabs. More information is available in this document.


Soft Tiles are 2' x 2' x 5/8" thick gray floor mats that are used on the FIRST Tech Challenge (am-0481a) playing field.  A full FTC field requires 36 tiles.

The interlocking edges of these tiles connect nicely for a quick setup and will stay firmly in place. The edges can be easily cut for a straight edge as required when used on an FTC playing field.  The tiles are double-sided with both a textured and a smooth side to suit any need. Disassembly is simple and we suggest these Soft Tile Bags for storage and transport. Each bag can carry up to 18 tiles.

These tiles are ideally suited for a variety of purposes and are perfect for exercise areas, playrooms, and workshops.  The soft, durable mats would also work well anywhere that needs a bit more cushion - including camping or as an anti-fatigue standing mat. These mats are made from a non-toxic EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam.

Tiles can be purchased in single quantities, packs of 4, 18, or 36. Please note when purchasing quantities of less than 36 to interface with previously purchased tiles there may be some batch variance in the color, exact tooth shape and overall tile size resulting in small gaps or complete assemblies that are slightly smaller than the field perimeter.

    Not Sure Why

    These soft tiles have changed. Anything that touches them from the robot or even stepping on the field leave impressions in the tiles. It takes a while for it eventually pop back to normal. I’m imagining it’s going to be a nightmare to configure autonomous

    New field tiles

    Our team was excited to finally be able to get our own playing field, and we still were. The only hiccup was one single field tile had about a dime size gouge out of the playing surface side of the tile. It looks like a manufacturing issue because it is smooth like as if an air bubble had been in the mold with the foam, so the rest of the tile formed just fine.

    FTC Field Tiles

    Tiles arrived in great shape. The only thing I wish I knew was that I would need to cut the outside perimeter edges of the tile mats. I would suggest maybe adding a knife tool to ensure that it's done consistently, or directions that you would need to do this. Customer service was great - product came as described.

    "Softiles for FTC"

    "I had some inexpensive tiles (about a quarter field) that were ok. These tiles are much better. I just hope they will stand the wear and tear that my high school kids will put on them. Fingers crossed! AndyMark service, as always, was impeccable."

    "Soft tiles"

    "They look good, but they all aren't quite the same color... it seems as if there are 3 or 4 shades of gray in there. (AndyMark Response: These tiles are gray in color, and there will be some variation in color between tiles. The color variation is inherent in the production process. The product is manufactured in large sheets that have some gradients and color variation across the sheets.)"

    I did some price checking to see if I could find these cheaper, but the prices I got were comparable so I was glad to be able to order with the FTC Field. Makes it much simpler since school purchasing can be tedious.
