Re: Vision tetras - can the bot pick up red or blue?

What I meant was do you still get the points whether the vision tetra is your alliance colour or not. I think the answer is clearly NO (which is good news otherwise the game would make a bit less sense) I was just confused because the rules didn't seem to state it.

My other point was: won't the robots, set to track green, pick up the other alliance vision tetras by accident?

I'm surprised that tribotec thinks few teams will be able to get the vision tetras when the camera module tracks them for you, more or less (apart from the problem above). Is it because the module isn't very good, problems with picking up and stacking tetras autonomously, doing all this in 15 seconds, or just that people won't be bothered?

Justyn.

p.s. Denman - Americans spell through as thru which makes tons more sense. But we did invent soccer so we rock.
Well, there are only 4 vision tetras on the field, so the only problem you might have is if your opposing alliance doesn't do autonomous at all. You could just set it to detect the neon green, then if your alliance colour is nearby (depending on what side you're on, red or blue), then it picks it up, if not, then it ignores it.

p.s. Justyn - We spell it interchangeably, normally 'thru' when it's casual, but it's 'through' when we're writing formally. Also, what is this game you call 'soccer'? Are you referring to the game of Football by any chance?
p.p.s. Liverpool FC rocks!
