Except you're not playing defense against an alliance, you're playing defense against a robot on an alliance.

Also, I'm guessing that code won't work in every environment you put it in. Differences in field setups like lighting and backgrounds could kill it.
There's no rules saying a robot can't be blue and red, in a bumper fashion.
There may be field elements that are those colors too, like the bumps this year. They're long, they're rectangular, and they're the color of the opposing robot's bumpers.


Code that will take forever to write and forever to execute won't be as beneficial as say, making your robot super easy to drive and control.
