Great Idea!

We have incorporated that same thing into our robot for this year. The drivers from last year found a few times last year that they rotated around and now stick up caused the robot to be coming to them and the steering was reversed. We put a button on the custom box that says orientation reverse and now the front is the back and it is easier for them to control (so they say). Not much programming but if it helps them drive, well worth it.

Now we have to highlight both ends of the robot to give them an idea of which side is which in relation to the switch. Hmmm
