Robot color and vision target

[FRC172]

Our team color is the identical hot pink to that on the trailer vision target. For the past 3 years we have used the same 1000-denier cordura fabric as the sample in the Kit of Parts for our bumpers and for other purposes on the robot (e.g., shielding, decoration). Our use of our team color is not "specifically intended" to interfere with anyone's vision system. Do we comply with <R02.C> by limiting the height at which we use our team color on our robot to below 59" (the lowest point of the vision target per Manual §6.4)?

Are we allowed to use 1000 Denier Cordura Flourescent Green Fabric (#1089) for our bumpers on our robot since this is the same color as the vision target?

With 1700 teams involved in the competition this year, we unfortunately could not find a color combination for the vision target that would not conflict with some percentage of the established teams. We would strongly recommend that you consider an alternate color scheme for your ROBOT. If your ROBOT has large areas that are the same color as the vision targets, it is likely that you will confuse the vision systems of both your opponents and alliance partners. If this is determined to be the case, this will be considered to be a violation of Rule <R02-C> (particularly if you are knowingly using the exact color as the vision targets), and the situation will have to be corrected before the ROBOT will be allowed back on the field.
