Re: Using a Keyboard on the Drivers Station
The Driver Station only reads HID (joysticks, gamepads, and the like) devices and the Cypress PSoC for data to pass on to the robot.

A keyboard will be able to enable (F1) and disable (space) the robot, to activate the emergency stop (control-alt-enter, I think), and do whatever else Windows recognizes. You might be able to program a Dashboard to read the keyboard and pass information on to the robot for it to act on, but <R75> doesn't clearly permit you to do that during competition.
