Re: Driver Station Rule Check

A single board computer as in a Raspberry Pi/Beagleboard? I mean, teams have used Kinects and their laptop webcams with Cheesy Vision for that kind of tracking. I think you can probably classify it as a peripheral, as long as it's USB-connected. It's not unheard of for teams to use I/O boards on their DS, so I don't see why a single-board computer is any different as long as it doesn't connect to the FMS. I think it is legal (I've actually heard pf RPis attached to drive stations).
