Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

ok so i have been mulling this over and i have a theory... that is pure speculation

first lets look at the song

Sometimes the light's all shining on me--regular field lights on
Other times I can barely see-- black lights on, field lights off
Lately it occurs to me-- i have nothing
What a long strange trip it's been-- i got nothing


The first two numbers are the coordinates pointing to the light pole with 4 lights. This is referencing the FTC game Quad Quandary. The FRC game will be essentially the same except we will have circles, squares and triangles to put onto corresponding posts. As for the third number, it is the approximate wavelength of black light so randomly the field lights will go out and black lights will come on. The posts that we have to score on will be emitting different IR frequencies and that is how the robot will know what post it is in front of during autonomous and when the black lights are on because the drivers will not be able to see the posts.
