Lightbulb Re: Recognizing the colors of the balls in autonomous mode

A couple thoughts about the IR system and the robocoach.
1. You may need to "re-train" your board before a match to use different buttons if two robots happen to be using the same remote.
2. Being limited to 4 functions (and I'll leave that definition open) makes for a very important programming decision regarding what you'll use them for.
3. Hybrid is only 15 seconds long so obviously they want us to use it to knock the balls down because I don't think you could get around the track in that time.
4. Unlike autonomous, the IR is active for the whole match so you may want to use that fact to help you decide on its functions.

All that having been said, while the game is a little more simple, deciding how to play it is not. There are going to be a wide variety of solutions which should make things interesting.
So let's get out there and "trade some paint!"
