RoboGames Mandatory 220 lb Re-Painting
Due to changes in the deal with Discovery Channel, the arena floor, bumpers, and wall supports (but not the lexan) will all be painted green for CGI visual effects to be added later in post-production.
Because of this, all 220 pound robots must be painted a distinct color. Metal armour is too likely to reflect the green from the surrounding arena, and thus be caught in the chroma-key / green-screen effect (you wouldn't want your robot to disappear on TV, would you?)
Therefor, all robot shells and tires must be painted. Paint will be provided at the venue, and painting done on Thursday night before the fights on Friday.
All 220's MUST have this paint job done.
Color choices:
Yellow
Hot Pink
Safety Orange
Light Violet
(Sadly, black and red are not available, per the production company.)
Paints are all acrylic, so should be reasonably easy to remove after the event with a paint stripper with only a few hours of work.
