Notes
- The drivers of the team are divided into two groups: the brothers Altoe, Alberto Vescovi and Danny Kroes performing at the Audi are on the team of Pit Lane Competizioni 1, while Oriola, Veglia and Homola on VW — Pit Lane Competizioni 2.
gollark: Also, recognizing frequency would probably be irritating, I'd need a... Fourier transform, or something, or just some really hacky thing for recognizing *one* frequency.
gollark: I see. Well, if you write/find DFPWM to/from... raw signed ints, or something... conversion, I'll look at implementing that.
gollark: Waaaait, wouldn't I need to implement a DFPWM encoder/decoder somehow?
gollark: PotatOS doesn't actually use libdatatape anywhere but the dump/load programs.
gollark: So, frequency shift keying or something?
