Exactly--885 would lose quite a bit of their identity.
Here is the (two part) question that I posted in the forum:
Quote:
Regarding <R26>: Will there be any precautions taken--or any precautions necessary--to ensure that the cameras do not become attracted to robots or humans that are colored like field elements (eg clad in red, blue, green, yellow, silver?)
Clarifying Q. 981: Even if the intent is not to distract the robot? Since the cameras can be calibrated to sense many different colors, must some colors (& if so, which) be avoided by teams in decorating their robots and themselves?

Think about it--
If 811 built their normal red robot, and a team tried to sense the red tetras, the robot would be attracted to you, wouldn't it? Similarly, if a robot was built to sense the loading dock (yellow), and they went against Buzz, the Buzz robot could be mauled, couldn't it?
Interested to hear the answer. That's just one of the 7 or so questions I posted.
