The reflection of the diamond plate on the polycarb makes you feel like you can see straight through to the player station, when really there is a robot hiding back there. I haven't made up my mind on whether the rule needs to be changed, but the situation is not as easy as an armchair coach might think.

(Thanks to Joe Pernick and Jim Zondag for bringing this to my attention.)

that is a really great point, and the pictures illustrate it very well. I guess a solution would be to make sure the "blind spots" are brightly lit from the other side of the polycarbonate, and hopefully you would be able to see the area a bit better.
