with the GDC, nothing is impossible. (even a water game
)
Are you talking about real satellite GPS, or some sort of pseudo-"field-relative" GPS?
If the former, I would say no, for logistic reasons
-it would be very hard for the field set-up crew to position the field at EXACTLY the right spot, or else (even though your code was made right) you might end up 3 (or 30) feet off.
If the latter, I would say: "not in the immediate future"
-Don't get me wrong, it would be really cool
-it would probably be expensive for teams to have said system on their practice fields to prepare autonomous (whether FIRST gives them one or they have to buy one)
-Imagine Championships. With 4 fields (and 4 systems) running at once, what a nightmare!
For either:
-with the vast array of venues out there (from coliseums to high school gymnasiums), the system might act differently
-don't most large regionals already have trouble with so much radio activity?
You could always go with a gyro/accelerometer approach, rather than traditional "dead reckoning" or some sort of camera wielding AI
