I personally hated the visibility issues (im the driver) since we have a low bot. But then again, I would not want them gone, because it was just another challenge of the game. It's like tall bots saying they don't like the low bar, so it should be gone.

Plus I also like the visibility constrains, because it separates the good drivers from the not so good. For example (not bragging here), after the first few matches at our first regional, i was getting used to the field and our bot. So even when I didn't have direct line of sight, our performance wouldn't degrade (unless there was defense being played), because I could still estimate exactly where the bot was based off of instinct, even making knocking out the sally port easy.
