It does some weird byte stuff that I can't for the life of me interpret, then it reads it, parses it, and passes it out through Power and Errors.
Would this work if I ported it to the robot, or are these port 1741 requests only sent to the dashboard?

The port 1741 part has me wondering if the robot would ever see it since that is not one of the ports that is white-listed through the FMS. Am I reading section 2.4 of the Game Manual correctly in this instance?
