Re: Touch Screen with the Driver Station?

I'm the Chairman's/Outreach manager for 1540, so this isn't coming from any sort of real-world experience...

but that sounds AWESOME. What could potentially make it even cooler would be if it was completely gesture-based - i.e. there's nothing controls-related displayed on the screen, but instead no matter where you performed a given gesture it would work. Two finger swipe to control shooter speed, three fingers for arm control... the possibilities are endless. That would also free up the screen to show useful data - battery level, current draw from motors, etc.

If you do end up building this, I think all of us here on CD would love to see it. Good luck!
