How must team numbers be displayed on the robot?

• A. Only on the top side in small font
• B. Clearly visible on at least 2 sides, 2" tall, contrasting color
• C. In a hidden spot for safety reasons
• D. Only inside the robot

Answer: (B)

Team numbers must be displayed clearly on at least two sides of the robot in a two-inch tall font that is in a contrasting color. This requirement ensures that the team identification is easily visible during competitions, which is essential for officials and spectators to accurately identify and score the robots. Having the team number on multiple sides promotes better visibility from different viewing angles, facilitating smoother operations and adherence to competition protocols. The specific height and color contrast help avoid confusion and ensures that the numbers are legible from a reasonable distance.
