Team Color and Drive Team

[FRC172]

Our team color is hot pink. We understand from our prior Q&A that we need to be very careful with the use of our color on the robot to comply with <R02.C>. Our entire team wears hot pink shirts, hats, etc. We have a substantial investment in those shirts. Are all 4 members of our drive team prohibited from wearing our team shirt and related team paraphernalia under Rule <T22>? We are not wearing a colored bib to aid in targeting, the subject of another Q&A under Team member action. We simply want to be able to wear our team shirt and color.

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 team gear. If your team 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 team will be allowed back on the field.
