New Controller up

[ahecht]

Something like the SuperSphere pictured below would be quite visible. I don't think we will need to worry.

Why does that imply 2 teams? 2 Alliances maybe.... (Or possibly 3... (R+B=Y))

[LBK Rules]

For those of us you who didn't look at the manual:

There are four team color connectors which all output identical signals. Each connector is meant to
drive one team color LED unit for identifying which team your robot is on. Team color LED units are
included in your kit or are available from Innovation First.
By default, these LED units will display red if you are using the default practice channel of 40. If you
use a channel adapter to change to another radio channel, the team color will differ. Channels 4, 22, and
40 will cause a red team color to flash, while channels 13 and 31 cause blue. In general, the user cannot
control the team color, because it is set by the Arena Controller during competition.

Is anyone else thinking manditory underglow on robots?
By lighting up all of the carpet around it, robot alliance color might be even more visible...

Edit: Also notice that those LED light bars are avaiable water proof. Most LEDs would be much easier to waterproof than the lights from previous years; water game?
