Re: Field Numbering

To amplify what Eric said, the position numbers refer to which spot in the alliance station your drivers are set up in. They have nothing to do with where on the field your robot begins. If your autonomous strategy changes based on which zone you're starting out in, you'll need to find your own way for the robot to know where it is.

Perhaps the apparent size of the vision target could be helpful here. Perhaps you can figure out a way to get the information from the Driver Station before the match begins. Perhaps a three-position switch on your robot is the best answer.
