This makes absolutely no sense to me. If you can not have fragmented or obsured numbers because you want judges/refs to be able to see your number at all times/angles, then how can you allow a robot to block the numbers and the refs/judges can't see anything. With some of these dynamic appendages that teams have a fragmented number makes it much easier to read than a squished number. What is the point of saying the numbers must be clearly seen from 100 ft away if you allow it to be covered up and hard to see from 15ft away?

Make sure you never drive up against the fender, or put your bumper under the bridge, or drive anywhere near another robot.
It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. - Nuttyman54 [more]
