<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).

It is becomming very frustrating to watch this thread grow and see the obvious efforts that certain people are taking to find a way to circumvent the rules. Rule <R26> is about as simple as it can be. The intent of this rule is obvious, even to my third-grade daughter.
YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO INTENTIONALLY INTERFERE WITH THE VISION SYSTEM OF THE OPPOSING ALLIANCE.
If you
intentionally paint your robot a color intended to confuse the opponents vision system, then you are violating the rule.
If you design a removable placard to put on the front of your robot that
has the specific purpose of confusing the opponents vision system, then you are violating the rule.
If you are stupid about this and violate the rules, and thereby cause your alliance to lose a match, then your alliance partners will gang up on you and violate your robot.
Can it be any more clear? What is so hard to understand about this?

I learned about how FIRST really is about so much more than a robot competition, it is about team building and the individual. - Adel Hodiwala [more]
