Re: Starting Position Details

In past years*, robot starting position has been up to the teams within the starting areas. Your alliance will determine where each robot starts. Last year, you could decide ahead of time who started in which zone, the year before who started in which starting position, the year before that who started in which location against the wall...

As the manual doesn't state either way, I would assume this same pattern would hold true this year... but the only way to know for certain is to ask the GDC through the official Q&A system. Personally, we're setting up out autonomous mode to allow for multiple starting positions along the entire starting zone.

*Note: What happened in the past isn't necessarily true this year
