Re: ChromeBook?

The only practical use of a Chromebook I've seen for FRC has been as a Driver's Station. They were using the Sasquatch as their Robot Controller with the RobotOpen DS and a Logitech F310 Gamepad. It was a demonstration event and worked very well. They also used Arduino IDE in Chrome to code as well. I believe it was the smaller Acer model.

Though now with the Android and iOS Driver Station apps, you can skip the Chromebook. You can do non-LabVIEW development on it. But overall, I'd go with a proper Windows laptop.
