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

Historically, the ROBOT markings to DELIBERATELY confuse other ROBOTs vision systems rule has not been a problem for MOE(365) and Pink (233). Good vision code should be able to reject blobs that arent the right shape anyway, and a green (MOE) or pink robot would be entirely the wrong shape. Also, I think since these two teams have had their robots colored those colors for years that UNLESS it was actively causing a problem on the field, an inspector wouldn't give them any flack for it. 233 and 365 are both seasoned veteran teams, however, that as Dean and Woodie say GET FIRST. I can assure you that 233/365 would not be using their coloring in an attempt to gain an advantage. After all, that anodizing adds weight.
