Driver Feedback Systems

Your driver is looking at the field, 20 feet away. They cannot see your telemetry screen. They cannot see if the intake contains 1 pixel or 2.

1. Gamepad Rumble

Use gamepad.rumble(duration) to communicate:

• Short Pulse: “Intake Success” (I have the object).
• Long Pulse: “Endgame Warning” (30 seconds left).
• Double Pulse: “Target Lock Acquired” (Ready to fire).

2. LED Indicators

Put bright LED strips on your robot.

• Green: Targeted / Ready.
• Red: Jammed / Error.
• Blinking: Intake Active.

Why it Matters

It reduces Cognitive Load. Instead of guessing “Do I have the pixel?”, the driver feels it. This leads to faster, more confident driving.
