<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It would probably be a lot easier to find a better floor material for the course in white rather than black. I used to have some white sign vinyl material which was normally used to print billboard signs on. It was very durable and would make an excellent floor material for the contests. We could then put black lines on it. Existing robots could make a minor code change to use black on white, rather than the reverse.</FONT></P>
