Starting field position?

[EricVanWyk]

In Lunacy, the starting position on the field was not determined by the match randomization process, it was agreed upon by the alliance. Therefore, this particular function wasn't very helpful for 2009. Maybe the 2010 game will prescribe field positions, which would make it useful.

I was hoping to use it for determining an autonomous strategy. But I guess I can put some switches on the driver's station that the pilots can set to indicate starting position. I just need to check the rules on that.

Thanks,

Beachbots wrote some cool code that effectively put a menu on the driverstation LCD for just that purpose. Before the match started, you could select an autonomous mode with the joysticks. Very Cool

I think Joe Ross would be more than happy to share - I know he published it a few places.
