My team would like to know if teams are allowed to modify the Driver Station software in any way, shape or form.
Another question too- If at a competition, Would a team be able to run a program in addition to the Driver Station on the Driver user on the Classmate???? :confused: :eek:

You are allowed to modify the Dashboard code, but not the Driver Station code.

You allowed to run additional programs on the classmate as far as I'm aware. You are also allowed to use additional computers.

No for modifying the driver station per [R58] and the blue box under [R58].


The control system is designed to allow wireless control of the Robots. The Driver Station software ... shall not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way ...



Please note that the Driver Station application is a separate application from the Dashboard. The Driver Station software may not be modified, while teams are expected to customize their Dashboard code.
