This could be a feasible way to make a full-field positioning system like [faust1706] and other have been talking about for a couple of years now. Make two banners and give them to your alliance partners in stations 1 and 3, then mount a camera on top of your robot. Unless we have another stacking game or some serious field element clutter, pretty good visibility could be maintained.
Very true... But, about the electronics part, correct me if I'm wrong but, there is a specific "box" that contains the standard... It can get bigger than that... If you add electronics, you won't be allowed to wire it to your driver station...
