While the controller may be capable of doing it, the competition would need to move outside to get a good GPS link. Even then, the GPS accuracy with all of that EM and RF interference created by the robots and field equipment would be horrendous.

In a previous game, there were two beacons on the side of the field that you could lock onto with the intention of giving yourself an absolute position on the field for navigation. I don't think anyone used it at that time.
