Seeing the balls?

Hey everyone,

I'm sure a lot of you have a similar situation, so let's discuss:

When the robot is on the opponents side of the field, trying to score hoops, how do you overcome the challenge of being 30 feet away but still trying to see, locate, and run into and obtain balls?

It's so far and theres 3 bridges and barrier in the way, is seeing the balls easy?

Re: Seeing the balls?

Sorta. There will be blind spots closer to the bridges, but one should be able to see over them (our friends who are vertically-challenged will have more trouble than those with height).

Plus, it'll be easier to see in the area of the bump. A thing to note: It's helpful to train your human players to be able to bounce balls over the middle area so that they roll over to the zone on the right of your scoring area where they are completely visible (We've found some success rolling the balls across the bridge.)
