Re: Robot color issues.

How about rainbow? Attracts everybody. And now you're stuck (or in some chances picked up and stacked on a tetra). XD

We never really decorated our robot. Probably this year, but we are not sure what to put in.

How many points is that?

IMHO I think the only colors you really have to be worried about are the green and yellow colors, and also I’m thinking gold and Sunny Summer (i think that’s the official name) might be different enough to not get confused. If you have doubt, what about going with a deeper gold? Maybe even a metal flake? That should give enough distinction and still be your team’s colors.

I wonder how many teams will be attempting to look for red or blue during the autonomous mode.

Re: Robot color issues.

we've had a lot of concern about this too, we sent a help ticket to FIRST and they said we can use any color

I agree completely. It is rather lame to actually make your robot of those colors intentionally for kicks. We joked around about it ourselves but werent serious. A team that actually does that, I frown upon.

Re: Robot color issues.

I'm sure the reference to chasing the MOE team driver was intended as humorous, but there is always some truth in humor.

Like Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, many have their opinions about MOE. The positive opinions are earned because of their success on the floor and their hard work off the floor. The negative opinions arise from jealousy and ignorance.

Also like Jeff and Dale, MOE has enjoyed well deserved success on the floor. However, their contributions off the field - mentoring start up teams, sponsoring Lego League teams, co-hosting offseason competitions, etc. - is where their impact is truly felt. This effort contributes to the ongoing growth of FIRST. MOE has inspired hundreds of students, not only to become engineers, but to more importantly be the next generation of community volunteers.

As for me - I gotta logoff so I can finish watching the race. I hope 24 is still not leading - I can't stand that guy
