Is it permissable to have an IR beacon

[Culvan Van Li]

I was thinking about something similar. Wearing a blue hat that the camera could target and send balls there. I believe that is against the rules. I was told that only the driver's station should have any method of controlling the robot. There are also rules against "decoratins" that give a compedetive advantage.

My new solution is to identify the team color lights in front of the driver's station and extrapolate where the refuling station is from that.

We talked about shirt color too, maybe something with white and black checker board, or a barcode on it.

I don't think doing so is controlling the robot other than the driver station any more than the pink and green posts on the trailers, or the color of the trailers, or the color of the lights by the pilot stations, etc.
They all just give us a reason to use the wonderful camera they have given us in the KOP.

Any other's with thoughts???

Thanks
