Re: RoboRealm API

Sorry this has taken so long to get back ... I've been busy ;-)

We'll take a look at our RoboRealm performance this weekend as another data point (after we update).

But as promised, in case you decide to go with your own server - custom implementation, assuming this works with the 2013 version of RoboRealm (I won't know for sure until we try hooking it up to the robot this weekend), it worked for us last year. We created the server on the robot, and let the RoboRealm application running on the driver station laptop connect to it, and then send data down. Any book (or a Google search) on writing servers for J2ME should help - the biggest annoyance is that you have to read it a character at a time, as none of the normal Java stream stuff is available.

Let me know if you have any questions ...
