Can/should a drive team ask opposing drive team to change their uniform?

For those safety vests, it may be possible to wear them inside-out. That'd keep the reflective part pretty difficult to see.

I've seen several robots (including ours, once!) take auto shots at the striped shirts of the referees.

Kenton,
I was not aware of the issue, please ask me next time. This is a question that the LRI, FTA and Head Ref should be made aware of. It seems that one of the issues that teams are experiencing is the wide angle fixed lenses of the cameras many teams use. We can talk this weekend, I am planning on coming by.

Thanks Al. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of it until we were doing our post event analysis.

Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to place any blame or start a witch hunt for teams using safety vests with reflective decorations (I hope no-one took it as such).

I just wanted (and think we did successfully) to start a dialog to make teams with similar decorations and teams using vision tracking be aware that the shape of the vision targets this year is very similar to the shape of the decorations on some of these articles of clothing, and to establish the correct method of dealing with it if someone believed that they might be having an issue.

Thanks,
