Re: Team Pink Can't be Pink

It seems to me that if the camera is being used to look at vision targets, there is no reason to have the lower edge of the camera's field of view pointed "down" from horizontal, and if the camera is not looking down, bumpers of the color we have used for years should not be a problem. The upper part of the robot could be a problem if we make it hot pink. I'd like to see a clarification of "how high is too high" on a robot to have the vision target colors and I've posted a Q and A question to try to get a clarification. We'll see if anything changes from the present Q and A response which pretty much says "don't use the vision target colors anywhere on your robot or your body." We may make two sets of bumpers, pink and black, and then use the black ones if required to do so.
