Scratch marks and smudges have been visible (at least in my experience), but it won't do much to hinder your view. You should be more worried about the big defenses, and other robots, in the way.
It's not acrylic, it's polycarbonate.

Actually, the FIRST field perimeter does in fact use acrylic, albeit quite thick.

The AndyMark field perimeter uses polycarbonate panels, however they are thinner.

Re: Drivers station glass

Don't worry about bringing glass cleaner either, the field crew already does that each day.

Re: Drivers station glass

Last year the field north star was getting kind of banged up in spots. But you could still see without much problem. I think they reused that field from northern lights.

I remember that for Aerial Assault it seemed like they did that after every match. Spinning Frisbees left a bit of themselves on the alliance wall.

Re: Drivers station glass

We did not have any issues seeing through. The field crew at our event was awesome. During any sort of break they would clean it and shine things up.

Wait a second...

We used exercise balls to play Aerial Assault, not frisbees.

On topic: Visibility seems pretty fine glass-wise, as Jaci mentioned you're probably better off worrying about the drawbridge or portcullis right in front of your driver station.

That being said, the glass occasionally gets footprints from flying kicks at recent Canadian events...
