Well, with a good navigation system, your robot only has to know for sure where it is for a moment based on sensor data or axiomatic declaration in the game spec, then it can figure it out from their. I doubt FIRST would position our robots randomly realative to scoring objects, as it would make it too challenging for the vast majority of teams.
