Could be interesting..
So I'm thinking the robot can see a spy with a reflective tape hat so they can lock onto the spy. The robot can do simple color matches, so I can see holding two flags (*) below the hat. One with red and green sides, one with blue and white sides. Green forward, red reverse. Blue left, white right. No color, stop. Might mean the spy has to wear a black shirt (**).

Lots of teams working on vision, this may be a time to make that effort pay off.

(*) I was really thinking large ping pong paddles with colors on each side, but flag works too.

(**) Danger is if it sees a Wildstang shirt the robot will break into a happy dance.
