I am assuming this is illegal: You set up two or three radio transmitters, on different frequencies (maybe not radio, but something that wouldn't interfere with the OI stuff) and have the bot able to read each on, and compute a distance based on signal strength. Having told the bot where the transmitters would be, then the robot would know its location with absolutely no error due to wheel slippage or inaccurate sensors . . .


However, I am assuming that the transmitters would be illegal......
exactly, setting up transmitters would be illegal. nor do I want to set any other devices up to generate any fields. I could easily tell everyone what I'm thinking, but a lot of FIRST is innovation and I want to see if other teams can come up with this idea on their own. However, I'll give you all a hint: what signal is readily avialible at every competition that could be used in such a way as to be useful to your robot?
