Emphasis mine.

Covering your robot with retro-reflective tape would interfere with the operation of another robot as you become almost indistinguishable from a vision target.
heres a quote of the blue box of R08 referring to this specific usage.

C. Any devices or decorations specifically intended to jam or interfere with the remote sensing capabilities of another ROBOT, including vision systems, acoustic range finders, sonars, infrared proximity detectors, etc. (e.g. including imagery on your ROBOT that, to a reasonably astute observer, mimics the VISION TARGET)
