It's not onerous or unreasonable, but how do you get this from:

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.
[BEGIN BLUE BOX]
The intent is that the Team’s number is clearly visible and unambiguous so that Judges, Referees, Announcers, and other Teams can easily identify competing ROBOTS. Consider the numbers as the license plates for your ROBOT.
NOTE: Impact font, size 362pt., shown in Figure 4-1, meets the stroke and height requirements for all digits.
