Re: Enhanced I/O in 2015?
If it were just one LED, we could certainly do that. But, there are a number of such LEDs for different subsystems (e.g., ball ready to shoot, within range for a shot, ball jammed, etc.). Not specifically things the driver (i.e., mobility jockey) is concerned about. The Co-Driver (i.e., Button-B*tch) is working to take the situational-awareness load off of the driver along the lines of the F-15E /A-6 pilot vs. weapons officer. I'm just checking on the Enhanced I/O because of the digital outs. Joysticks/game controllers just don't have the feedbacck that makes interaction on the field as easy to work with.

Here's an example from last-year's 'bot.

Thanks,

Mike
