Re: Programming old robots

If you are looking for IFI system stuff, I have two useful things: "IFIclipse" plugins, and ZomB
The IFIclipse plusings are plugins for eclipse that I created to bring the IFI toolchain to eclipse, so you can program the IFI systems from any eclipse-supported platform. I'm not sure why its down, but the eclipse plugin site is at http://ificlipse.thecatattack.org/, and there are a couple of other things you need, I'll try to dig up my notes on them if you want it.
ZomB also recently gained support for IFI debugging, simply do a printf("name: %f\n, value); and set the ZomB source to Serial, download the code, keep the serial cable connecting you to the program port, and ZomB will detect the controls.
I'm going to be releasing an update (hopefully) later today, but the FF project is at http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/zombdashboard (and obviously works with the cRIO system also)
