Wouldnt it be a good srategy to make your robot the color of the tetras so that all the other robots got messed up. if it really is that easy tyhen there can be some serious problems that result from that.

also i think the goal of the software is to focus on one thing and then follow that so maybe if you dont ask it to reaquire green or whatever in the middle of the run it would do just fine
