Ever since 2007, people have asked for the lighted vision targets back. 2010 was a huge improvement with the white/black circles and was doable. In 2011, the gray retroreflective tape placed on and around gray reflective aluminum was pretty unusable for most teams. Now, we get dark gray reflective tape next to black all placed on smoked lexan with bright gray aluminum rectangles behind it.
I sometimes wonder if the FIRST GDC has a single controls/vision programmer left on the committee.
While I'm at it, someone tell the guy doing the prints that measurements for WOOD construction don't go out to the second decimal place. XX.88 or XX.31 are not really valid dimensions for carpentry work.....
