Which is exactly my point.

IN 2006 the rules were written very similar, & robots that were green were allowed to play with a Green tracking system.

Looks like pink & green robots should be allowed following in the same guidelines that have been used before, but that's just my opinion from understanding FIRST rules over the years.
FIRST Q&A is the official answer. Ask them.
