[FTC]: Downloading program with Samantha Module

This may be old news to some of you, but I was just blown away by the ability to download labview code via the Samantha module.

This means no more Bluetooth, or constant plugging in/out of the USB cable.

I had just configured my WiFI, and Samantha, and verified that the FCS could talk to the robot.

Then I went into the LabVIEW and did a scan for the NXT... and what should pop up... but my robot and a WiFi link.

Too Cool... code, download, debug and test all via WiFi... I love it !!!

Not sure what other limitations there may be.. but I guess I'll find out

Phil.
