Re: More line tracking videos

Has anyone tried using the official carpet? Per the rules the official carpet is S&S Mills, Sequoia 20 Oz. Level Loop Pile, Color: Ground Pepper. Has anyone even found this carpet? I was not able to find it on S&S's website. From the color photo in the game manual the carpet appears to be a light or medium grey color.

My concern here is that all these videos show contrasting color line following (i.e. light tape, dark carpet), but according today's team update the gaff tape is also grey. The color photo in the game manual makes the greys appear to have some contrast.

In any case teams may want to consider making their line following easy to modify. Or try testing line following with grey on slightly darker grey.
