858: Placement of GPS Strips


7421A
2-Sep-2021

Both the game manual and the GPS strip installation instructions show similar field views. the game manual presents the blue alliance wall on the right. The GPS strip installation instructions show side 1 on the right. One would logically conclude that side 1 corresponds with the blue alliance wall, but there is no diagram that clearly correlates the two. Can you confirm that side 1 corresponds with the blue alliance wall?

Answered by committee

Yes. Both the Field Appendix and the GPS strip installation instructions use a 0° label to denote the orientation of the field. In both documents, this label is on the "top" side of the field, implying that they are being viewed from the same orientation.
