does anyone know the ruling of putting the reflective tape similar to the bins, on your robot?

Adhesive tape for non-insulating purposes is specifically disallowed (See fig 4-1).
I wonder how hard it is to make some other surface retroreflective, or if there is some other retro-reflective material you can buy. Eric. |

what about the actual reflectors that Banning makes, not the adhesive tape but hard solid reflectors... like bike reflectors?

while i don't know about putting a bike reflector on the robot (even if it sounds illegal to me), what i want to know is
WHY? the only thing i see coming out of it is getting other robots, maybe even your ally, to go to you thinking your bot's a stack, and then they just try to kill your bot instead of the stack... that can't be good and it would probably be ruled as your fault |

If you can claim that the reflectors are a non-functional decoration, then it would be allowed.
Chances are the other robots will not start in such a position that they will be able to "see" your tape anyways. |

Non-Functonal Decoration
This wouldn't classify as a non-functional decoration as it would the possibility of affecting match outcome. This would seem to violate part 2 of Rule M9. Actual reflectors could probably be used some other way, at least until there's a team update on this matter.

hey fridge Thanks for you input. I guess it's time I whip out the rule book again! hehe I guess it's a good idea for a designer to actually know such rules as these..

No problem. Our team had just gone through the same idea yesterday and had run into the same problems. It's just a brainstorming idea, but i remember that's one reason why we couldn't do it.

But we are allowed to jam their RF signal right?
