Re: What operating system do you use on your driver station?
Well, considering that the DriverStation is a closed-source Windows application, at the end of the day everyone will be running it on a form of Windows, whether that form be native, virtual, or otherwise (e.g. WINE). I use a MacBook Pro (dual-booting OS X and Windows 7) for development and have no trouble running the driver station software, utilities, (formerly) LabVIEW, Inventor, etc. Our primary driver station computer is a generic PC laptop, also running Windows 7.
Edit: I suppose there have been some unofficial apps that allow you to drive your robot from a smartphone. However, they are not legal for competition.
