Alliance Colors

With no bumpers required are we going to still need to show either red or blue? I can't seem to find any mention of this in the rules…or am i just missing it?

Re: Alliance Colors

The Floor Underneath your robot is the same as your alliance color.
However I do Believe that you still need a Number plate somewhere on your robot. Don't take my word for it Check the ROBOT section of the game manual.

If it isn't in the rules, probably not.

Also, consider the fact that you aren't allowed to cross to the other teams side. There should be no confusion as to what alliance each robot belongs to.

Re: Alliance Colors

No alliance color on the robot is needed without bumpers, you just need the number displayed like in rule R2.

I talked to Frank over youtube chat and he said that since you cannot go to the other side alliance colors are not necessary. The carpet this year indicates which side you are on.

Re: Alliance Colors

yes figured this was the case….my only concern is during staging it gets pretty hectic for the people in charge of the cue.

Yes, and your number needs to be visible by all angles (clearly visible and unambiguous so that Judges, Referees, Announcers, and other Teams can easily
identify competing ROBOTS.) per rule R2

They've got the lists still. Won't be no problem for them to go "You're here for Match X, you're Red 3, here's your holding point" like they usually do.

Team numbers must be displayed on the ROBOT and meet the following criteria:

A. consist of numerals at least 3.5 in. high, at least 0.5 in. in stroke width, and be black in color with a white background extending at least 1 in. from the edges of the numbering,

B. be positioned around the ROBOT such that an observer walking around the perimeter of the ROBOT can unambiguously tell the Team’s number from any point of view.

If I had a nickel for every time a team at SCRIW showed up with the wrong bumpers (or just needed to flip their reversibles)...I could at least buy a gumball. Maybe a candy bar. :rolleyes:
