The ridges in the driver station are caused by robots hitting the field ends with force and stretching the playing field carpet. The stretching causes the carpet beyond the end panels to bunch up more and more as matches go on.
This happens to varying extents at every event in slightly different locations. There's not an easy way to get rid of them, but the field crew tries to stretch and retape the driver carpet periodically.
