So, in addition to posting another question on the Q/A, I'd like to ask if anyone here knows:

Which transmission signal, Type-1 or Type-0, will be transmitted from the beacon on the side of the field with the red moveable goal at match start? Which will be transmitted from the beacon on the side with the blue goal?


Thanks,

This is an EXTREMELY important question that needs to be answered. We too at Team 188 are looking for the answer, and have not as of yet found out which beacon type is on which side of the field. We have made it configurable to switch sides via a toggle switch on the robot, but a more definitive answer is definitely needed.
