Would this work for CI? Can robot code run as is in your the VM with out modification? I'm asking because I don't know if WPI is written such that it will gracefully handle missing hardware.

ex 1: Does instantiating a Talon and calling set(1) cause any problems?

If this works and all the network communications function properly (SmartDashboard, DriveStation, etc) this could be an invaluable development and testing tool.
