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

FIRST FRENZY!!!!!!

...anyways about my previous post on determining field position with ir, it could be possible with the 4 inputs, as well as serial communication via the ir transmitters,plus extremely precise timing from the transmitters, also the timing would have to be slowed down...light would travel way too fast to determine position from the field location...GPS, uses the distances from 11 000km up in space...but nonetheless it could be possible...

either that or during auton the ir will transmit whether we have to pick up tetras, cubes, or balls and score them in a giant bin in the middle of the arena.
