in my opinion those teams wont' really have an advantage at competition because the camera should be looking for the appearance of both the green and pink. but it's so weird because we were having a discussion about this today because our main team color is pink. we did a test with the camera and found that our team shirts would be key targets . . . hopefully people's robots are programmed correctly so if they have a shooter, they won't shoot those in brighter color shirts or their robots haha
