Well the NXT and the Parallax Boe Bot is supported. That much I know.

Do you know where I can find the documentation on how these services work? Is there standardization between them? The only easy way to talk to the Innovation FIRST controllers is through the serial port. I know the Lego RCX bricks work in a similar way, so maybe I can salvage some code from that service on the PC end.

What I'm hoping to do is either find a defined protocol or come up with my own to communicate with the FIRST controller. From there it will be easy to write a robot side driver which simply takes all of the incoming motor and relay values, and writes them to their corresponding output.

The help file in the program describes how to implement the Lego controllers. It actually seems pretty possible albeit not legal within the confines of the competition.

Now that Microsoft Robotics Studio is out... Has anybody figured out a potential use for FIRST?

They are supporting games called RoboCup 2007 soccer in Atlanta.

Re: Microsoft Robotics Studio

Could be really really neat if programmers of FIRST could gather and help make a simulation for following years so they can input their robot's design and see if it works.
Possible?
