Re: Universal goal location designations

Left 2 . . . . . Center 2 . . . . . Right 2

Left 1 . . . . . Center 1 . . . . . Right 1


Where one is the closest to the driver, and three is the farthest.

As long as people know their right from their left (with which I'll admit I still have some difficulty) this would make it easy to instruct a driver or suggest to an alliance member to go after a specific goal.

Whatever the terminology is it should be agreed on between teams prior to a match, but I think it would really make it easy if we have something universal that all teams already know.

What do you think out there, and how do we spread the word?
i think it is a great idea Mr. A did you tell our engineers about this yet?
