How to determine switch/scale plate color assignment? #5

Closed elodotwe closed 6 years ago

elodotwe commented 6 years ago

In the manual, we have this statement: "Prior to the start of AUTO the assignments of ALLIANCE colors for SWITCH and SCALE PLATES are randomized and transmitted to the OPERATOR CONSOLE by the Field Management System (FMS). During AUTO, ROBOTS attempt to deliver preloaded POWER CUBES to PLATES, retrieve additional POWER CUBES from around the FIELD, and cross their AUTO LINE any time before the end of the stage. "

How do we determine these switch/scale plate assignments? With that information + a good navigation setup, we should be able to interact with the switch + scale during auton without vision.

I'd look at the FRC ScreenSteps page, technical resources on firstinspires.org, maybe on ChiefDelphi to learn how. (I don't know how yet!)
