Re: How do you wire a Kick motor in labview?

I'm behind Alan.
Get Alliance only specifies your Driver Station location, not your robot's actual location on the actual field.

We get assigned Driver Station positions for the benefit of the Field Management System (FMS). That's the only reason that information is available.

Robot starting position is unrelated to Driver Station position and is negotiated ahead of the match between the three alliance partners rather than the starting positions being randomly assigned by FMS.

FMS has no way to tell where you have negotiated with your two alliance partners and agreed to place your robots, and it doesn't really care.
