It was a question, I answered. Lots of discussion on CD is about things that are legal/not legal and not purchasable (although there is info in the article leading to finding a very similar product for purchase in the US). It is good to have well-defined (user) parameters when working on a final design. This info hopefully helps in the long term definition of these parameters.

EDIT:
The simplest solution may be to use a rope with a unique hue (such as hot pink) to track, it probably won't perform quite as well as a retroreflective solution but is the least effort legal way I can think of vision tracking a rope.
