Concerns regarding the green paneling/green shirts

[xxerin]

The cameras have a limeted field of view so it its unlikely that green shirts would distract them

Keep in mind that this also applies for red, blue, and yellow robots, because the tetras themselves are red and blue and the loading docks are yellow.

yeah i was thinking about this a lot-- for teams like swampthing and moe

but it does have to be directly in view-- hopefully it shouldn't mess things up that much

it seems like an interesting thing to do if you go against someone with that ability but as others stated it could hurt your partner

keep up the thinking ppl....

We were discussing this earlier, and I would have thought the people at FIRST would have thought this through. It seemed that in the webcast, Dave Lavery's shirt had to be pretty close to the robot. This season should be pretty intersting.

I just hope that in practice the robots dont start attacking fans. I think FIRST is plotting against moe just like when they said no more sticks and load objects.

Now remember that I wasnt the first one to say this but....... j/k The sensors wont be able to reach out of the feild to attack fans, also the sensors should be pointed down so they can pick up the vision tetras and yellow markers under the goals.

personally, i wish you would all grow up and stop this nonsensical babbling about being a pain to all the other teams and focus on strats which show a slight level of non selfish playing, and that are legal. as to people "losing" their team colors, i see no reason you cant stick with your aluminum channel and some good ol' Mother's. you would make your pit green and stuff like that. you could even interject a little humor into it and paint something on your robot like: "THIS CHASSIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN...", or "THIS IS GREEN IN REALITY"(painted blue).

on a lighter note, our sensor was not able to pick up a person in a green shirt from 30 feet and the field is what 54ish?

I have a definite feeling that FIRST is going to change the color sensors at the last moment to something like a purple. If thats even possible....
Then again they can pretty much do whatever during a match.
