Re: Green and pink painted robot (a good defence?)

Let's face some reality here, as Erik and Joe pointed out earlier, a correctly designed vision system should not look for colors at the level of a robot, the colors are higher than that. The robot max vertical dimension is 60 inches while the trailer colors extend from 59" to 83". Considering the look angle of the supplied camera lens, at a distance the camera would see the full robot. But close up in shooting range, the vision system should only be looking above the 59" height. Each robot is considered individually when inspected. Team colors would not automatically produce concern. However, a checkboard pattern of green and pink in the shades used on the goal would be a cause for concern.
