Re: Telling drivers station your alliance
Without further information being released by FIRST to the contrary, I'm guessing this signal is provided through the ethernet connection to the Field Management System(FMS). Because of this, there is no easy way to simulate this outside of an official FRC field. What I would recommend as an alternative is designing two sets of code, one with the alliance detection and one without, and run tests during practice day to see what the outcome is. However, on the positive side, if it is in the C++ libraries, I'm guessing it's already been tested by the developers and working...

When in doubt,you could always ask on Q&A...
