: yep and your position is determined by your color... i don't know if you'll be allowed to trade though... i don't recall anything against it...

Yeah, you can pick your position on the field in finals, but not in seeding matches. So I assume they'll still have those colored lights by each station and that you can identify which station/placement you want by that light (and then have that light on your robot).

Plus, it helps to identify your team compared to your robot. If you can't see the team number but you can see that it's got a green light, you know which team is driving it.

And I think communication in the alliance stations will be a mess during the matches this year...so it's easier to yell "put the green ball on top!" than "the red one over there! no, there!"

Just my thoughts...
