R2 lays out the new numbering rules, and altough they only added a small section, it is awfully specific:
Quote:
Team numbers must be displayed on the ROBOT and meet the following criteria:
A. consist of numerals at least 3.5 in. high, at least 0.5 in. in stroke width, and be black in color with a white background extending at least 1 in. from the edges of the numbering,
B. be positioned around the ROBOT such that an observer walking around the perimeter of the ROBOT can unambiguously tell the Team’s number from any point of view.

It's all pretty normal, but the limits on the color of the numbers seems rather picky. Why not specify that the numbers must be of a reasonably high contrast, or easy to read? Perhaps it's becaue i was hoping to be able to do backlit numbers in waterjetted aluminum, but i'm dissapointed by how specific it is.
