Re: Touch Screen with the Driver Station?
We've thought about this kind of interface for ours as well, and almost implemented it this year with one of the touch screen classmates. However, we quickly realized that without any tactical feedback the driver would have to look down at the PC to do anything. Taking your eyes off the robot during the match is just asking for trouble. We decide to instead use a custom control panel with very high quality buttons so that the drivers know when a command is issued from feel alone. We're going to keep doing research on this as well as other input methods (like a leap motion or similar device), but plan to stick to the panel with real buttons for competition.
