Game specific message should be sent to dashboards #891

Closed SamCarlberg closed 6 years ago

SamCarlberg commented 6 years ago

Currently, drive teams can only know the switch/scale layout by looking at the physical field elements or scoring screen. The opposing switch or scoring screen may be difficult or impossible to see, so sending the data to the dashboards (probably through network tables) would guarantee that drive teams will always have this information.

The data could be included as past of all the match info (approximate remaining match time, match number, alliance color, etc) or as a standalone entry

Embedded in other match info

/MatchInfo
  .type = "FRC Match Info"
  Match Number = 123
  Alliance = "RED"
  /GameSpecificMessage
    .type = "2018GameSpecificMessage"
    Message = "RRL"

Standalone

/GameSpecificMessage
  .type = "2018GameSpecificMessage"
  Message = "RRL"

This was fixed in #874. I think this should be closed.
