I always thought that, although you cannot see your robot from behind the drawbridge, you still could "know" where your robot last was, in a sense.

As a driver in a week 0 event, the visibility was pretty bad. In the opponents courtyard you couldn't see anything less than 8 inches above the ground. During one match (when we started as a spy bot and attempted a scale) one of our bumpers fell off and we had no idea that it had until after the match when we retrieved the robot. Also we had a major collision with another robot behind our own drawbridge when we didn't see them sitting there. We came to the conclusion after the event to add cameras to the bot before bag-and-tag.
