testing Auton and IR sensors at events

[KenWittlief]

no one has any input on this? Im really hoping we will be able to test our auton mode off the playfield on thrusday

are any teams planning to set up a test field or partial field at the pittburgh regional? I have not been to a pittsburgh event before, so I dont know what the facilities are like.

I got to visit Trenton on Saturday and didn't see anyone running IR.
Line sensors, encoders, gyros, and pure dead-reckoning seemed to be it.
No beacon's anywhere but the field, and no convenient isolated areas.

J&J did have a practice field area.

We should probably develop a receiver version attuned to the IR range finder on a camera, or a TV remote for testing in the pits.
