how well do the sensors pick up color?

As stated in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=32226 , and in the manual:
<R26> No devices or decorations are permitted on the robot that are intended to jam or interfere with the operation of the vision system (i.e. changing robot color to confuse opponent’s vision system).
I think that MOE green is different enough from tetra green that the vision system should know the difference, but I dont know how precise the sensors are.

What do you mean by changing for the sole purpose of messing up the senors? We've always been bright green and it is kind of like our signature, it definetly isn't intentionally to mess up the sensors. By no means do we want to hinder any other teams performance on the field. One of the corner stone values that my team practices is GP.

I was skimming the manual for the cameras and I dont think it will be a problem. You can set the thresholds of the color range that it looks for and as I recall, MOE green is a lot brighter than the tetras are.

I was thinking about this earlier. What are the odds that the robot will pick up on colors outside of the field? Suppose the root locks onto a person wearing green colors.

It is true that Moe green is a brighter shade of green i am just worried about the sensors still picking it up as the green on the feild and we could have 5 other bots comming at us instead of the tetras. also if a team sets there sensors to go to green and red/blue then teams with thoses colors could have problems. the thought just poped in to my head watching the kickoff and seeing team members wearing there MOE shirts. I guess we will find out for sure in the next week or so. Good luck to everyone this build.

Well, then they would be disqualified for leaving the field area...

What i ment by the 5 bots comming at us= our bot is the other robots comming at our bot on the feild. but that would be crazy if colors ourside the feild attracted the bots, could that also be a problem?

I doubt it. The color detection program probably has a limited operating range for detecting color. I.e., using english (I don't know how the programming works this year with the customizable language:
If objectsize >3 Then gotoandpickup Else turncamera45degreeright
