Depth perception was a problem for me. With such a big field and such a big ramp obstructing your view, it gets hard to tell where exactly bins are. When trying to descore bins it can sometimes be hard to see if they are out of the scoring area or not. Another problem area was seeing the alley ways not in front of the driver station. For robots going under the bar or if bins are trying to be descored in this area, it can be a problem.

Besides these, the only real problem I had with visibility was seeing if our robot was really on the top of the ramp or not. It is really hard to judge from the driver station how big the top of the ramp is. I found myself always hugging the near side of the ramp where I knew for sure that we were on. In one match I accidentally pushed an opponent's robot off of the ramp because I was afraid we were not on. After seeing footage of the match, I saw that we were on with no problem before I even started to push.
