mind the all-caps raging....but
THE APP HAS BEEN SUBMITTED!!!!!!
the review process should take about a week or two (probably two), I will keep everybody posted. The name of the app is "FRC Driver Station Lite"

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

can you please post the source so i can port this to python?

i was gonna use pygame to get joystick inputs and forward them to the robot

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

As stated in a previous post, I don't really want to post the source code, but if you would like me to give you an in-depth explanation of how the robot and driver station communicate so you can write your own version of the program, I would be more than happy to do so.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

can you do that then?

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

I sent you a PM with all the information you need.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

APP RELEASED!!
The app has been approved and released by apple. Information as well as a download link can be found on our team website located here:http://comets.firstobjective.org/iphone-app.html

Updates from now on will be posted within the link on the webpage as well as the webpage itself. Thank you everybody for your support and interest in this application. Questions can be sent to my CD account, my FirstObjective account and my email directly @ mobilegamer999@gmail.com

Would we connect to the wireless router or the bridge on the robot?

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

Thanks for the app. I'll try it out as soon as I update to ios 4.1

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

You violated FIRST's logo usage requirements in your icon. Not good.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

Were can I find these requirements/what are they? As the student web design lead for the COMETS, they'd be good to know!

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

Just came here to post that! Nice to see someone else got it though.

I plan on playing with the app later! I'd love to offer some feedback about it.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

If you read the rules on usage of their logo, it is acceptable because I am part of a FIRST robotics team
I will contact FIRST personally to get a final ruling on if it is okay or not, but in the mean-time I will look into creating a new icon.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

I am truly sorry for the issue that came about, I should have read FIRST's rules regarding the usage of their logo. I found an image that is 100% CC and submitted the new application to the app store, it should only be a couple days before the new version is out. Again, i am deeply sorry for the confusion.

Re: iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed
 

I was referring to the fact that you altered the logo - you moved the "FRC" text in relation to the triangle-circle-square logo and removed the "FIRST Robotics Competition" text below it, as well as the (R). Team or not, they are clear that they do not want that done, as well as a few other minor details (sufficient space around the edge of the logo, not put inside a shape or border, etc).

Whether you should even be allowed to use the logo is a separate topic. It's not clear to me based on FIRST's usage policy, but it doesn't seem right using it for your planned paid version. I would certainly get official clarification before using it, as you now say you are.

It is for these reasons that my own app in the App Store uses a custom icon. I would have preferred FIRST's official logo to mine as it is definitely better looking, but I didn't want to use it improperly or against their wishes so it was easier to just avoid it.
