Re: Accessing files on the driver station laptop from the robot
I suppose you could run an ftp server on the Driver Station computer and have the robot program connect and transfer the file. That does mean you will have to delay the initialization of your robot program until after there is a network connection.
If you are considering Network Tables at all, why not just use a Dashboard program to read the file and publish Network Tables variables for the configuration parameters? I think the Java SmartDashboard will do that sort of thing for you.
Why don't you want to put the file on the robot itself? I can think of a couple of ways to make doing that less of a hassle, the easiest of which might be to use a simple batch file to copy the file from the Driver Station computer to the robot filesystem after you've made changes to it.
