Perhaps I should rephrase that. I intended to say that it would only be necessary in autonomous. Simply from the reasoning that it would be quite out of character for the GDC to design a game where the only option for success in auto OR tele-op was to use this sensor on your robot so you could tell which whatsit needs what gizmo to maximize your points. Like I said, there will at least be visual clues for the spectators to follow along with that would clue in drivers. And I refuse to believe that the the GDC would make something like this absolutely mandatory to having a successful robot.
