Defenses was merely displaying what was in a particular slot.

FMS is designed to expect a team in a certain location. At a minimum, the ethernet port is programmed for that team number.

I can appreciate that it would be "nice" to let a team pick their spot. I'm guessing to minimize problems, they keep positions hard coded.

FWIW: I don't think there is a requirement that the driver stay in their team's position. If you bring a long enough ethernet cord, you can be in whatever position the teams agree.
