Re: Bad news for Pink, MOE, ThunderChickens ... ?

This Q&A response has some implications for people standing near the field during match play also, particularly field reset volunteers.

I'm reminded of a bone-headed mistake that I made, wearing a green team shirt under my volunteer shirt while working field reset on Curie in 2005. At least one robot tracked me instead of the vision tetra. My unintended interference with autonomous robot functioning might have influenced the outcome of a match. Not a good feeling. I corrected the problem when the field supervisor pointed it out.

If the team colors you are wearing match those of the vision targets, be careful not to get too close to the field.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
