Re: Color?

there is a severe problem with painting the robot the same color as some of the field elements because if your alliance partners are using the camera to track the something of the color that you have painted then they will beging to home in on you. so not only will the autonomous be useless for them but they may in fact inhibit you. also the other team will be at the other side of the field so the camera might not even have the range necissary to home in on your bot. also if they do home in on you then your autonomous might be messed up if the opponant hits you.... i would say stick to your schools color and dont try to mess with the other cameras.
