Re: <R31> Experienced Opinions Needed
I agree with what everyone else posted. This is how my team thinks about it: How would you feel if it happened to your team?
We actually discussed this at a meeting, MOE (365) paints their robot neon green ever year. We decided that they are probably NOT going to be allowed to paint it this year (at least not green) because it would interfere with the function of the camera.
To me, it sounds like you are trying to deceive the other team, that's not the spirit of GP at all. At least, not what I've learned it to be. Now, driving in front of another robot, that's just defense. It's not technically preventing the accurate function of the camera. If the robot moved over an inch, it would see the green light again.
I say no, I think a green neon tube would be illegal.
