Once again I am not trying to sound argumentative or anything I am just trying to get a good interpretation of the new rules and if our color might cause a problem on the field then it may have to change.
We have to change the robot colors because it's the rule. It's not like the average team has already build the entire chassis, drive train, and has most of the plexiglass colored already, and now they're being told they can't use that color. It's not really too much to ask for from the refs to tell you not to use a certain color on your robot, is it?
