Re: Recognizing the colors of the balls in autonomous mode
There are three possible locations for the TRACKBALL, so the ROBOCOACH can tell the ROBOT where to go via IR:

Channel 1: Knock down on the left
Channel 2: Knock down in the middle
Channel 3: Knock down on the right
Channel 4: Drive straight, turn left.

Since this year the robot must be in contact with the alliance wall, it should not be hard to be able to recreate your bot's starting position with regularity (and practice), negating the need for a camera.
