Team Pink Can't be Pink

If you think that's bad, they won't even give the go-ahead for the Green Team put flashing LEDs that say "885" even on the lwoer part of the bot...

The legality of those LEDs cannot be determined without inspecting them. It quite likely cannot be determined without seeing them in actual operation in a competition environment. Deciding whether or not they violate <R02> is the job of the Inspectors and the Referees, not the Game Design Committee.

The GDC is providing Q&A guidance on the interpretation and intent of the rules in the manual, and is helpfully answering questions about whether or not certain designs violate those rules. It will not, and should not be asked to, provide rulings on specific robot design implementations that might or might not violate rules depending on how they are used.

i wonder why???? i thought it would be okay as long as it wasn't either fluorescent green or pink ???? or i could be wrong i really don't know but i would think as long as the other teams camera was set correctly it shouldn't matter what about just plain green or red or a moss color what would that do ?? i really should find out

I think everyone is missing a much bigger problem than the colors of the robots. I think shirts are a much bigger deal. If pink sits by other pink members (which they will) then there will be a large "rectangular" pink blob that the camera might be able to pick up. Now I am positive this wont happen but if MOE is in the stands directly above pink there is a big problem. I do agree with the person about the false positives and slowing down the computation, but the shirts in my opinion are a bigger problem.

I guess we'll have to arrange seating at our competitions
but hopefully we'll be high enough up at each competition so the cameras won't even see the team sitting up in the stands

If we and MOE end up in the same division in Atlanta, we'll have to be sure to sit next to each other, rather than one above the other in the stands. The same applies with Swamp and a few other bright green teams.
