Start on the floor, though--oh, and you're starting on your opponent's end of the field, with screens in place to make vision spotty at best.

Oh, and I forgot about the water. At 30 seconds left in the match, the field gets about 1-2 inches of water, making it harder to get back to the bonus point area on your end. (Why only that much? It's a lot easier to waterproof 2-3 inches of field than the whole thing.)
Alright! Now that's more like it! Though my let them see at all? I save put the drivers in a black current square (no top) next to the game field and their only means of seeing are the cameras on board the robots and a HP for each team on the alliance, only able to communicate using a microphone and smoke signals. (Fog machines of separate color smoke will be available upon request. )
