Hmmm, R8 is only about the Robot.
I know this is not in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism and the Refs would probably ask you to stop then Yellow/Red card you if you don't (I.e. rookie robot for rebound rumble just had a giant net that blocked most shots), and it probably should be addressed in the manual.
But I never noticed anything about not having Retro Reflective tape on the driver station...
Out of curiosity, how would reflective tape help with catching?
- I mean, I do guess it would be possible to have a camera pointed at retro reflective tape around your catching mechanism to see if placement of the ball is right...
