Re: Looking for a Driver Station

Beware of the Cypress, always code in back up code that can switch control to the Joysticks (or other control method of choice). Last year, we had an issue where our cypress board would randomly lose communication with the classmate. We were scrambling at competition to write code that would switch control over to the Joysticks, unfortunately we weren't able to get it to work while at competition.

This year we programmed in the back ups to be switched over from a button on the Joystick, that way the code did not have to search for the communication and we could test the code without waiting for it to break. This year, however, we never had to use the back-up system (which is a good thing I guess).
