Re: auto vs. manual loading zone, which one?

Essentially, for us, this did work out as a point of precision, but it really depended on the robot for other teams. I was just trying to get an idea of who was doing what.

In concern to the omni wheels, if anyone saw my safety glasses at atlanta, there was a sensor attached to a piece of aluminum near the front part of the chassis, that when raised to the height of the piece of wood used for the auto loader triangle (I think it ended up being 1/4 inch), would make an LED attached to my glasses go on (it was plugged into the control panel), so I didn't have to worry about getting the actual omni wheels on the zone or risk penalty points for not being on it. A mentor on out team came up with the idea - it was quite helpful!
