Re: Mac DriverStation?

I have to say that I appreciate how cross-platform most of the WPI tools are. We can develop and deploy code from any student's laptop. The smart dashboard runs on anything. Once the robot is enabled, the console is visible no matter what OS is hosting Netbeans. Vanilla FTP gets us into the cRIO. We can visit the Axis camera from any browser.

This pattern breaks when we need to enable and drive the robot. Since the driver station is just talking UDP, you'd think we could drive from any computer.
