this is really cool. We have been messing with this same idea over the past couple years but with Labview. We took a slightly different approach and made it so you can develop code on a small robot and then directly port it to the FRC robot and vice versa with no code changes. You can also drive your robot with this however we do not have a watch dog implemented yet so you have to be very careful while driving the big robot with it.
We have mainly been using it to teach Labview to the students so that each kid can have a small robot to learn with and test there code.
