We have had success so far being able to differentiate between the green gaffers tape and the green carpet using it, so it should also be able to tell whether or not your are on a defense as well.
Yep that's them. Last year we tried using two of them on the sides of our chassis to automatically line up on the scoring platform and drop a stack. It didn't work out for other unrelated reasons.

We have decided not to use them, as they need to be close to the ground to work well, and we are using pneumatic wheels.
What kind of drivetrain are you using?
How far off the ground are you having yours?
