Robot Signs

For the 2425 game, INTO THE DEEP, there have been some new rules about numbers and signage on the robot. The rules can be found in section 12.4 on page 98 of the Competion Manual.  A ROBOT SIGN is a required assembly which attaches to the ROBOT. A ROBOT SIGN simultaneously identifies a ROBOT’S team number as well as its ALLIANCE affiliation for FIELD STAFF. The sign itself must meet the following criteria:

R401 

Two ROBOT SIGNS per ROBOT.  - Each ROBOT SIGN must contain a 6.5 in. by 2.5 in. (16.5 cm by 6.4 cm) rectangle with a solid red or blue opaque background to indicate their ALLIANCE color (Figure 12-4), as assigned in the MATCH schedule at the event. Visible markings on ROBOT SIGNS when installed on the ROBOT, other than the following, are prohibited: A. those required per R403, B. solid white FIRST logos no larger than 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) in height (Figure 12-5), C. small amounts of hook-and-loop tape, hard fasteners, or functional equivalents, D. narrow areas of differing colors exposed at corners, folds, or cutouts, E. dark narrow markings on background solely for template purposes, F. cannot be powered or rely on power from any sources to illuminate/reveal ALLIANCE color
