ROBOT VISIBILITY / ELECTRONICS PROTECTION

Review the requirements for Robot Visibility in the Competition Manual, The Robot.  Robots must display their team number, sponsor, and school names and/or logos whenever the robot is on the field.  Review the requirements for this season and ensure your team complies.

Consider closing off portions of your robot, especially the electronics.  A stray arm or appendage from an opposing robot in your electronics can cause serious damage.

Many teams create polycarbonate panels to close off parts of their robot and then use stickers or vinyl printed numbers and letters to display the required information.  This is relatively easy to do yourself, but you may be able to secure a sponsor at a local sign shop.
