I'm not trying to be snotty here, or pick on anyone, but of course not all teams have the same design. Everyone had to make choices about what their robot can do. Shooters are different, bridge manipulators have different capabilities (or aren't on the robot), etc. And thinking that there might be a reason to look under the far side of the bridge is another choice.

We have a little plastic mirror that came out of a baby crib toy on the front of the robot. Depending on how your camera is mounted you might be able to use that. I'm sure smarter people than I can come up with other methods.

It'll be interesting to see if the field change will help with the problem. And I'm also interested to see what teams do to look under the bridge.
