Has any of you teams figured out how the programming port can help your robot performance?
The only thing I can think of is using DEBUG statements in the code, and then you custom circuit board can use the input. The problems with this is that you slow down your code greatly, and you have to make a circuit that can decode your DEBUGS and make it in less than 4 weeks.
Then you would have to feed your outputs to the switches in the RC or feed it back through the programming port, and then download your code again.
I think it would be faster just to do everything in the code and don't fool with a circuit.

So is it even worth all this hassle?
