positioned. The locations of the VISION TETRAS will be determined by random selection from a set of 8
possible starting locations (as identified on the “2005 Field Lines and Layout” drawing). ROBOTS may not
be repositioned or manipulated in any manner after the VISION TETRAS have been placed on the field.
<G06> No team member may pass the Starting Line in their TEAM ZONE until the conclusion of the
AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. All team members must stay within their alliance’s designated TEAM ZONE
during the match. If a team member passes the Starting Line before the autonomous period ends, except to
save their controls from a violent collision of a robot into the diamond plate, or leaves their TEAM ZONE
during the match, the team will be assessed a 10 point penalty. If a HUMAN PLAYER leaves the HUMAN
PLAYER ZONE at any time during the match for any reason other than personal safety, the team will be
assessed a 10 point penalty. However, if such actions are deemed by the referee to be so serious to have
affected the outcome of the match, the team may be disabled and disqualified.

Whats hes saying is that with the servos attached to the camera module it will track the current color by itself. If the servos are not connected to the RC they they will not be disabled before the start of the match. They could potentially lock and track the tetras as they're carried out on the field. Whether it would work in practice is another issue....
