    Post Cold Cathodes - Use as Robot Decorations

    In the past, the cold cathodes included with the kit of parts were not allowed to be used as decorations on the robot due to concerns that they might interfere with the CMU Cam vision systems, which homed in on that wavelength of green light. However, as this year's game does not involve green lights as homing beacons, nor are there any bright green game pieces or field elements (which teams could conceivably attempt to track with similar camera systems), is it permissible to use green cold cathodes as decoration on robots? They would add a really unique flair to our robot, and seem to pose very little risk of interference to other robots given the circumstances of this year's game.

    Yes, they would be permitted as long as the decorations do not cause a violation of any other rules. Note that to prevent a possible violation of Rule <R02>, any team utilizing a vision system sensitive to the decoration emissions may request that the decorations on your robot be disabled during a Match.
