Getalliance VI

[Lightfoot26]

I am not currently at a machine with an updated Labview for FRC Library, but as I recall, this VI has been there for a while, and all it does is return "Red" or "Blue" which can be useful in some situations. It doesn't communicate with other robots on your alliance, but with your driver station, which reports whatever alliance the FMS says you are on.

I can confirm that getAlliance returns either red or blue. Works the same in Java and C++.

I have used this VI in the past, it simply returns what alliance your driver station is at. Useful for changing LED colors on your robot, not much else.
