If not, would it be possible to add controls to the GUI select alliance color? We pull that data from the DS object in WPILib. Right now the vDS returns kRed.
Yes, interoperability with FMS is something I had planned. I had actually decoded the FMS protocol first to produce an FMS-like program that would link up with any DSes it found rather than having to type in team numbers, so adding support should be straightforward.

In the meantime, however, I'll look into adding a toggle to select alliance color and position (though I'm guessing position isn't that useful to anyone since it has no bearing on where your robot is on the field).
