Re: Driver Station required to be visible?
The application will run if it's not the active window. I think R97 just requires the bottom portion with CPU usage, battery voltage, joystick/code/comms indicators, etc to be visible during Inspection and MATCHes. Note that while the DS will run and control the robot while under another window, pressing the spacebar will affect the currently active window, and therefore will not E-stop the robot.(I think; correct me if I'm wrong on this.) This isn't a problem on the official field, as you can use the dedicated E-stop button, but outside of the field make sure you can quickly switch active windows should you need to disable your robot.
