Re: GPS with VEX

There are six fixed position 900 mhz transmitters at the operator stations. There are ways to resolve your position from these sources, however it is not easy. In the past our team has used parts of the field as way points. This proved very easy to do in stack attack and raising the bar. First put lines on the field. They where easy to detect with the Banner sensors. We drove toward the line using dead reconing, stopped when the line was detected, timed turn and go on. It was good enough to nock the ball off in raising the bar. We now have a large inventory of available senors. Each year evaluate the field for waypoints objects.
