Bumper Colors

[FRC696]

The squares of colors provided in the 2009 FRC kit of parts are the exact same as the material we have for our team colors, this is the material we are planning to use on our bumpers.

Will we be allowed to use these colors on our bumpers?

With 1700 teams involved in the competition this year, we could not find a color combination for the vision target that would not conflict with some percentage of the 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.
