Please speak up if I'm missing something here...
That's one of the eventual goals. You still need to able to launch apps from the roboRIO side to make sure it's actually running during a match, etc. Having ADB running on the roboRIO is very helpful for that sort of thing. This is also so we can run it during a match so it needs to be a wired connection that's where getting USB networking and port forwarding working comes in.
