On the other hand, having your robot being your team colors would definitely not be against the rules, and may or may not be GP, depending on what your motivation is. But like Dave said, it's probably not a smart thing to do if your alliance relies on getting the vision tetras and goes after your robot instead.

GP can mean a lot of things. I'm reading the rule as not overloading the other team's camera with changing colors etc. So much so that it can no longer operate effectively. A Green decoy panel is just giving the camera something else to look at. The primary difference being that a decoy panel could potentially be programmed around. A jammed overloaded camera can't be programmed around.
As far as GP... there's lots of things that would be not GP if interfering with another team's autonomous mode is unGP. You couldn't bump them or get in their way or anything. The teams last year that tore out of the starting gate to put a goal in the way of the other robot were being unGP as well then.
