With the new USB ports on the RoboRIO, we'll have a lot more options for custom circuits. As I said, I don't know anything about the new board yet(it was not provided to us as a Beta team), but I could totally see a USB custom circuit that could be used on either the robot or driver station as a possibility. Regardless of where it goes, I'm excited!

I think there will always be a market for an attachable board to give us analog and digital inputs for the driver station, and the sky's the limit for what we can do on the robot!
