Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

tetra =4
4 IR codes

I am thinking that the 4 IR codes may be used in one of the following ways:

A. identifying at a specific time when a specific Game piece has more value (or no value). When the broadcasted IR ID changes, you focus on the more valuable pieces.

B. identifying at a specific time when a specific scoring area has more value. When the broadcasted IR ID changes, you focus on the more valuable scoring area.

C. A possible autonomous scenario may use IR beacons as waypoints or azimuth references in navigation but more likely (and easier) a master IR beacon would trigger a behavior change in all of the bots on the field. i.e. an autonomous period with 2 or more distinct phases. Perhaps the IR triggers a change in what color target lamp the bot should go for ( with cmucam). This could give 2 or more scoring opportunities during autonomous.

Hurdles (and stock market) suggests some jagged terrain challenge.
