Re: Request: Picture from camera on pole in driverstation

The aspect ratio of the neutral zone in the picture is .23, the actual aspect ratio of the neutral zone is .51. Just taking that from the center line to the castle wall, I estimate that the camera was 12' 3" above the floor.

Edit: I thought of a much easier way to figure this that doesn't depend on the narrowness of the neutral zone. I extended the side limits of the field to the vanishing point for these parallel horizontal lines, which meet a bit above and to the right of the tower. As the top of the opposing tower is essentially 10' above the carpet, I'll revise my estimate to a few inches shy of 11 feet.
