You seem like the right person to go about making suggestions to regarding the DriverStation. What I want is a full-fledged DriverStation SDK that gives programmers straightforward and simplistic control over the entire atmosphere (not only the SmartDashboard, but the look and feel of the DriverStation app, as well). Also easy two way control between the DriverStation and an onboard computer. What I'd really love would be to have things like dynamic apps that can change depending on the task and non-standard I/O, custom buttons, custom sliders, particle affects, colour changing text, OpenGL simulations, realtime graphs, and simple video streaming procedures for non-IP cameras. I think I've set my expectations wayy too high :P I would at least like a change of DriverStation colours... I always feel like I'm using Windows 98... I'm so sorry for complaining... I'm just working on a custom dashboard, and I've set a lot of really high goals... thanks!
