If you don't like the idea of a calibration routine (which really, should only take up 1/4th of a second!) then here's an alternative idea:
Hook up an LED directly to the roborio's output. Then, when the program starts up, it turns the LED on. At that point, the operators manually move the forklift into the correct position. When the switch is hit, the LED is turned off. This works because the robot can still read sensors in disabled mode.
We would still need to have the calibration feature in the code, for use in teleoperated/pits/whatever.
