Folks, Frank (and the recycling bin) are on the near side of a field, near midfield or the "near" border. The bin is raised up a bit, I'll assume on a small table, or is a tall bin. The field rail in view is not the near side rail; it is the FAR side rail, inside of the field view. Note the gate ramp visible in the bottom right corner of the linked picture: It's down, obscuring the rest of the bottom rail from view. (You can see the "rest" that's used when it's up quite clearly--the "rest" is sticking up.) See the attachment for the general arrangement: orange is camera, blue is the bin, black dot is Frank, and the black box is the field border.
Now, I'm going to guess that the field section shown (a small one) is not representative of the 2015 FRC game. I'm guessing that they used an empty field--all the stuff that was on or in that field can change (and does, year-to-year).
