Teams shall display their team number on the Bumpers in four locations at approximately 90° intervals around the perimeter of the Robot. The numerals must be at least 4 in. high, at least ¾ in. in stroke width, and be either white in color or outlined in white. Team numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 ft, so that judges, referees, and announcers can easily identify competing Robots.


I am not sure that "Clearly Visible" means they can not be split up. Am I missing some more rules on the topic. This is the first year we are splitting our number up, but I recall seeing it done before. Anymore info on this from teams who have attempted it in the past would be very helpful.

Mike and team 61 are already aware of the issue they have with their numbering and have discussed it in another thread.

Let's instead talk about their robot -- and maybe convince them to let us all know how they've finished their robot ahead of the deadline consistently for the 14 years I've been doing this. That's probably a far more interesting, informative discussion.

Nice robot! I wonder what those wheels up front (the once sticking up) do? Are they perhaps for picking up balls or to aid in balancing?
