Lightbulb Re: Need Opinions On Rule <R02-C>

well although i do agree with them on the rule... i do not expect the inspectors to be very happy about it at the competition. It might not be intended to interfere but there still is the possibility it could interfere with the cameras if they are uncalibrated.
Also i wouldn't put complete faith in that all the rookie teams will have it calibrated given the fact that they are rookies and they might not give a thought to calibrating it having not done it before.
So even if it is within the rules I'd bet anything that the moment those inspectors see the robot they are going to make you change the color because regardless of whether or not it isn't intended to jam the camera doesn't mean it can't and they won't want something running around and jamming all the rookie's cameras. I'd say just paint it a different color just to be on the safe side, then you won't have to worry if you are within the rules or not.
