All the values pathfinder accepts can be in any unit you like, but they have to be consistent (i.e. if x/y is in feet, velocity must be in feet per second). We tend to use Meters as our units in most cases, but there's nothing stopping you using feet.

If your robot starts perpendicular to the midline (i.e. facing the outer works), X+ will be facing towards the tower, and Y+ will be facing the secret passage. You can flip these coordinates by reversing which motors each value goes to in your follower.
