if autonmode is at the end of the match you could:
1. park the bot at a certain location just before auton starts.
2. point your bot is a certain direction
3. communicate information to the bot with your operator interface just before auton mode starts with different switch settings or joystick input (includeing where it is on the field)
other possible auton ideas for the new game. Require the robot to perform certain tasks automatically -for example, if you must pick up a object to score, the driver steers the bot towards the object, but the bot senses its there and grabs it by itself.
---------------------------
oh.... these are great ideas!
(.... mental note auto-mode at end of game)
