sorry- but this isn't a life support system. It is painted numbers on a bumper. I think there are far more important design issues that most of our teams need to worry about than whether the numbers are outlined or not.

and yes- this is ridiculously picky about a trivial item with nothing to do with the function of the game and represents just one more "gotcha" kind of thing for the kids to worry about. If there needs to be one exact set of specs for everything why don't we just get a prefab kit so the FIRST people will get the exact design they develop the rules for. It would save them the money for the Xerox Creativity Award.
