Cool You can't see through an untouched starting wall of boxes
-> Tell me if this was already discussed, cause I SEARCHED and didn't find it. <-



Your robot starts the game on the "enemy" field, and your driver is located in the opposite side ("your" side). Between them there is a big wall of boxes.

If none of the 4 robots manage to crash the wall in the 15 seconds, there will be some time of blind driving, because the drivers won't be able to see their robots.
I think that may happen sometimes, but it probably won't be a usual thing.

If that happens, the robots may crash with their partners, and they may loose a lot of precious time too. Maybe putting the wall down isn't good only to score points...

Another thing: the ramp is really big this year, isn't it? Is it allowed for a short driver to take something to stay on top of to the station? <edit> Already answered by Pengiun Joe (thanks!)</edit>
