Re: Using the TI LaunchPad from your KoP

Thank you TI! As the lead mentor of a team who experienced losing a match in the elimination rounds due to a different product with a similar function flaking out on us, I am very glad to see this change. Having a well-vetted board for custom driver station inputs included in the KOP is something I mentioned for briefly to one of the FIRST personnel at the event and he put it in his notes, and it's something I mentioned for again in the end-of-season survey.

I'm not sure if others lobbied for this to happen, but I feel like my detailed suggestions to FIRST on the matter were given very serious and detailed consideration, and FIRST and TI acted on those suggestions.

It's nice to feel as if I've influenced positive changes in FIRST on a global scale.

Thank you FIRST and TI!
