Re: Universal goal location designations

I believe that there are a total of 23 "known" positions on the field for each alliance's robot. Count out loud if you want:
nine (9) goals
four (4) visual tetras to go after
two (2) auto-load stations
two (2) manual-load stations
three (3) starting locations (OK, pretty much a "known")
three (3) finishing stations

Therefore, I suggest that everyone memorize the military radio alphabet. Calls on the filed might go something like this:
"Team ALPHA, drive your robot to location ZULU"
"Team BRAVO, drive your robot to loader at location "TANGO"

You get the picture......
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Dog, Echo, Foxtrot.........
Over and out for now
