As part of the proposal to the 2015 control system FRQ I prototyped a working interface that would allow Android devices either on the robot or as the driver's station though it was optional (FIRST declined this proposal so you won't be using what I created in 2015). It worked just fine with any Android device that fully supported USB host mode which some older devices do back into 2.1 and any device that claims USB-On-The-Go (which is Android kernel functionality) support should.

I'm very gratified to see students come along and demonstrate that not only is this not beyond you to understand and utilize similar techniques and technology many of you are more than capable of doing it yourselves.

I choose USB because though many Android devices support WiFi and bluetooth there's many additional layers there that can cause unnecessary complication. Team 11 does use bluetooth with their Android scouting application the students write.

I look forward to watching this develop if I can be of assistance please let me know.
