team colors and misguided cameras

I heard someone joke about this in a recent team meeting when we were testing out the camera:

since the camera is meant to track a fluorescent pink and green color and since there are many teams out there whose team colors are very similar (who also tend to paint their robot completely in that color), isn't it likely that those hot-colored teams would have an advantage at the competition, since it might distract a camera that is trying to find that color?

maybe we should just all paint our robots a fluorescent pink this year, just to level the playing field (sorry 233)... on the other hand, I don't think that would match our robot. It might be better for us to paint our robot the fluorescent green.
