๐Ÿ“ Coordinate Systems

AdvantageScope includes support for several common coordinate systems on the ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ 2D Field and ๐Ÿ‘€ 3D Field tabs. Please reference the WPILib coordinate system documentation for more information on the axis and rotation conventions used by AdvantageScope.

Customizationโ€‹

By default, the coordinate system is automatically selected based on the chosen field image/model. To select a different coordinate system for use on all fields, open the preferences window by clicking App > Show Preferences... (Windows/Linux) or AdvantageScope > Settings... (macOS) and change the "Coordinate System" option.

tip

All coordinate system options are compatible with both FRC and FTC fields.

Blue Wallโ€‹

The origin is in the rightmost corner of the blue alliance wall with the +X axis facing the red alliance wall, as shown below. This is the default coordinate system for FRC fields from 2023 to 2026.
