For communicating with your drive team and other drive teams/coaches during a match I think

Opposing Alliance Station
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
You Alliance Station

would be the easiest because it requires little thinking. I think just about everybody uses a telephone fairly often, making that number sequence more natural. Plus it's quick and easy to say. I think left/right, far/close/middle could get a little confusing in the heat of competition.

For talking about matches afterwords in the pit and such, I think a system using the red/blue sides, and the human player/autoloader sides would be easiest because those won't change based on orientation.
