Clicking on the SmartDancer Controller brings up this menu.

SendX, SendY, and SendZ tell subsequent commands which bots/avatars/palettes will receive their actions.

SendX and SendY ONLY have meaning if you have previously chosen a Division that is either HALF or ALTERNATE.

SendC is the default.

SendZ sends to ALL bots/avatars/palettes, etc.
SendZ sends to RED and BLUE headed bots.
SendZ sends to BLACK headed bots.

SendX sends subsequent commands only to bots with RED heads.

SendY sends subsequent commands only to bots with BLUE heads.



Lets assume you are in a Wing formation and have chosen HALF as your Division.

If you choose SendX, AND THEN press a LINE formation, then only the RED bots will transition into a LINE.

 

This flexibility increases the number of maximum formations from 11 to over 11,000 by just using variations of Divisions, Sends, and Commands, not to mention variations in Move-Times.
