Reading Match Data on Robot
 

Is there a way for the robot to obtain the values of certain match data fields, e.g. boiler pressure, match score, field time (which I know is possible)? It could be convenient for driver displays if it is.

You could always OCR the audience display :cool:

The closest I know about is the data that is provided in the DriverStation class (sorry, Java team, edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.DriverStation).

It does have information about what Alliance you are on (nice to know if your boiler is on the left/right side this year), what Location ID the driver station is at, and the Match Time (it says unofficial on it, you can probably make a better timer anyways getting the FPGA timer between Teleop Init and your current time).

Yeah as far as I could tell that was it. Didn't know if there was some workaround through FMS to get other data.

I don't think OCR on the audience display would work very well

I'm pretty sure that was a joke though...
