Is there any way to get the current match number for logging purposes?

FMS does not interact directly with your robot so I don't think it would be possible to get the match number automatically, you could possibly just use the smart dashboard and punch in the match number manually.

Alright, that's what we thought but just wanted to check in case someone found something that we missed

Both the alliance color and driver station number (e.. Blue 3) are available through WPIlib so that narrows down the match number to 1 in 6 typically.

DriverStation is a pretty useful class, even if it doesn't report match number.
