My team is working on some projects in the off season, and we're wondering if this is possible.
Just so we're clear: This would be offseason use ONLY. Use of such a system on a competition robot would violate multiple FRC rules (unless, of course, those rules get changed for 2016).


That being said, I think AM has something along those lines, though IIRC it's pointed at being its own controller on the receiving side.
