Re: Robot Numbering, Attractive Solutions?

Does the team number have to be the team number we are given? Can we list our team number in Base 16 or Base 2? What about Roman Numerals?

So back to the original question, attractive solutions to this year's tougher numbering rules.

So a couple of things to consider, you'll want the number to appear to be Matte, with all the lights around the field you don't want to give off the wrong type of reflection.

If you still meet the basic requirements of a Black Number on a white background, you can still dress it up with LED's on the border or with layers and back lighting.

Another opinion: Teams are going to not pass Championship level inspection because of the 0.5" stroke length requirement.

I'm also looking for a team that will have their numbers on a large rotating cylinder.
