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.

We never brainstormed ideas on looking under the bridge as we assumed the bridge and its appendage would take care of the balls rolling out effectively.
The idea of a plastic mirror instead of mounting another camera is pretty clever and inexpensive.
