Re: SoC Power
I thought having any capacitors or batteries or any other power source besides the battery was illegal...
But then again, with the popularity of the offboard vision tracking becoming more popular, they might change the rules to allow for a safe shut down.
The problem is, its safer to have to robot off when doing things like transporting and fixing things. Waiting a minute or two for the Raspberry pi, Arduino (Yun, The new intel one, the new TI one), pandaboard, or whatever to shut down is not quickest thing, especially when you are loading/off loading the robot onto the field.
What I suggest (and I have no idea if you can do this) is that you connect the cRio and ODROID or whatever via I2C and whenever the match is done, send a signal from the cRio to the board and tell it to shut down. I'm guessing it wouldnt be too hard to do, but then again, I havent been able to experiment with it at all.
