Is that legal? Because we don't have a lot of options where we can place it.
Any ideas?
May,

The referees on the field are going to do everything they can to make sure that your robot will run during the match. One of the best indicators they have is the RSL.

Therefore, it is in your best interest to make it as visible as possible to the referees on the field. I do not know how opaque that material is to yellow light. As such I cannot answer if it is legal to use, and if it is legal then how useful it would be. If a referee does not see that your robot isn't ready then, more than likely, your robot will not run ... just something to consider.
