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.

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:
