Re: Help please! Can Robots be turned on in queue prior to Matches?

I can think of no way for your driver station to stay linked to your robot through this process unless you're illegally wirelessly communicating with your robot. Or, i suppose, if you have two lan ports and do something exceedingly weird and clunky that's likely to be a huge delay of the game.

I believe they are configuring it via the wired LAN, then disconnecting to connect to the field. I think their only requirement is that the robot itself stay on, not the DS.

+1 for AHK, but it seems to be a robot configuration problem. I do wonder what the Kinect is connected to - Rasb-pi?
If you ever need any AHK help, please let me know.
