Using the driver station laptop as a controller

We are playing around with the idea of having our drive team manipulator student use the driver station laptop keyboard and mouse as controllers during matches. Here is more detail on we are planning on doing that.

https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing
  • Have teams ever used the driver station laptop itself as a controller during matches?
  • What issues did you run into?
  • How well did it work?
  • Did you run into issues where the student has to keep looking down?

Presumably the buttons on the keyboard could be used while looking at the field in all instances except for shooting.

Thanks for the feedback.
