Two changes to the rules regarding robot designs were proposed:
Emergency stop buttons following ISO10218 rules
It was proposed that emergency stop buttons on robots should follow the ISO10218 rules for emergency stop buttons. One concern with this proposal is how to provide access to the ISO standard to all teams. Nevertheless the general consensus seems to be that the current emergency stop rules are not sufficient.
Team color rules should require a single solid marker or t-shirt/jersey
Currently, a robot’s color is determined by the area of the individual markers.
This makes it difficult during robot inspection to measure a lot of small individual pieces.
It was proposed that robots should be required to have a single solid marker per side or a t-shirt/jersey to determine their team color.
