Re: Green and pink painted robot (a good defence?)

It does not mention colors. the devices listed give unfair technical disturbance or blind out the camera completely. The green and pink paint is not going to interfere with the camera, it will simply confuse it.

Re: Green and pink painted robot (a good defence?)

The last example i.e. changing the robots color is somewhat clear. In past years this has always been interpreted to mean you can not mount target lights or paint your robot in such a way so as to confuse your opponents vision systems.

I would consider a painted stick a device. Granted, its a very simple device, but it has a purpose and therefore is a device.
My opinion though.

Re: Green and pink painted robot (a good defence?)

I would say that paint is a decoration, not to mention the specific example of color-changing robots. And confusing a camera would certainly interfere with its accuracy, which was probably the whole point of using a camera.
