Although I was concerned about the referees having to call the minibot race visually, the view from the side was much easier than I expected. When we were ready to que onto the field and watching 2 minibots go up before our match it was easy to tell who made it first as they both are in your line of sight and you can focus on them both. From behind the glass they distance between the two is tricky as sometimes I didn't think our minibot made it up first.

Kudos to the referees on calling this one perfectly!
