What is a requirement regarding decorations on the robot?

The requirement that decorations on the robot cannot interfere with functionality is crucial for ensuring that the robot performs effectively during matches. Any additional elements for aesthetics must not impede the robot's mechanical operations, movement, or any of its critical components. This rule helps maintain the integrity of the robot's performance, ensuring that all parts can operate as intended without distraction or obstruction caused by decorative elements.

The other choices, while potentially beneficial for specific contexts, do not specifically address the essential principle of maintaining functional integrity. For instance, enhancing visibility and using bright colors can be important but are not explicitly mandated by the rules. Similarly, the material of decorations does not need to be metal, as long as they fulfill the key requirement of not affecting operation.
