    • getRawAllianceStation

      public static AllianceStationID getRawAllianceStation()
      Gets the raw alliance station of the teams driver station.

      This returns the raw low level value. Prefer getLocation or getAlliance unless necessary for performance.

      Returns:
      The raw alliance station id.

    • getMatchTime

      public static double getMatchTime()
      Return the approximate match time. The FMS does not send an official match time to the robots, but does send an approximate match time. The value will count down the time remaining in the current period (auto or teleop). Warning: This is not an official time (so it cannot be used to dispute ref calls or guarantee that a function will trigger before the match ends).

      When connected to the real field, this number only changes in full integer increments, and always counts down.

      When the DS is in practice mode, this number is a floating point number, and counts down.

      When the DS is in teleop or autonomous mode, this number returns -1.0.

      Simulation matches DS behavior without an FMS connected.

      Returns:
      Time remaining in current match period (auto or teleop) in seconds

    • silenceJoystickConnectionWarning
