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.
Team 66 the Flyers were the team that went after your green shirt!!! They were one of a few that could score in auton that year. The robot saw your shirt turned 90 degrees and went full blast into the wall, destroying there arm and ending there run through the playoffs. I know this because we shared a bus down to Atlanta, they were bummed out, but did not hold you personelly responsible,these things happen.
