This may have been said somewhere in one of our threads regarding this image and all the many clues it holds for us. Regarding the distortion of the image that we see - in some of the threads, some have suggested that the drivers will be looking through distorted glass or maybe their field of vision will be somehow distorted.

Being the bean counter that I am, I don't see how the GDC would want to do that. FRC is expensive. The robot is expensive. And, the robot has been designed carefully with strategy involved by engineers, teachers, and students. No one would want to see it damaged because of vision being distorted or limited. Also, I would think the frustration levels of the drive teams and coaches would significantly increase if their ability to see the field and robots clearly was compromised.

That's what I have been thinking.

That said, something is distorted. We could be looking through something in the image.
Maybe a lens?

I'm done, I promise.
