Re: Aerial Assist Discussion Thread

I'm just going to throw out an idea here: Maybe the community of FRC should come up with a standard retro-reflective target that can be placed on robots that intend to catch the ball. I don't see any rules against having retro-reflective tape on the robot, and I see no technical problems as long as it wouldn't confuse any targeting programs as to what a goal is and what a potential catching robot is. Something as simple as a vertical line of retro reflective tape would meet this requirement, as the only time a robot would confuse a goal and a robot is when it's tipped over and probably not going to shoot anyway.
