Has anyone tried a "missile lock" tone?

[Bill Becker]

Our OI has a pair of safety glasses with LEDs mounted in the upper perifial and tells the driver if he has to pivot right, left or is locked. I guess we haven't thought about how to put them on at the start of the match. I guess if we win auton and become backbot he should have time. If not the operator will have to do it for him. Do think it would be legal for the driver to change safety glasses at the beginning of operator control?

The way we do it is to have the glasses plug in to the OI console. The operator wears the fancy safety glasses full time, but they remain unplugged until the start of teleoperated mode.

Could you have the driver wear one pair of glasses in auton, and then switch to ones that are connected to the OI in user mode?

Well I think the rule says you have to wear safety glasses at all times during the match, so unless you could somehow swap them without being sans safety glasses at any point, then that wouldn't fly. It would really be easy enough to just put something like a headphone or rj45 jack on the OI that the driver plugs into.

I really like the idea of a piezo buzzer, actually.

I think I may try this out...
