Re: Spy Hand Signals

We have implemented the hand signals for the spy with our team. A few of them were derived from another great team in our area, 1939, and their signals from Aerial Assist since they were clear and simple. Ours were mainly developed for shooting or climbing, but we have used it for defenses and lining up. We've also found issues once in a while with sitting on top of boulders, so we developed a sign for where our spy will make a fist with one hand and set her other flat on top of it. We had plans to make it slightly more complicated than has panned out with different colored gloves which she still wore, but since then programming developed a vision lineup for us.
I do all of the non-driving functions, and while I've found myself able to watch the spy, our main driver doesn't pay attention to the signals unless I tell them what our spy is telling us. We did not need to rely on it, seeing as how we found it only necessary if there was the Drawbridge in the way of our line of sight.
