Re: 2003's FRC Robot Controller
1. Your old operator interface w/joysticks will work with your old controller. Therefore, they are not "obsolete" in that they will run a robot (just not the 2004 robot).

2. Get creative... Forget about an RC and work on autonomous mode. You will learn C and will get familiar with the IFI code.

3. Do a search on these forums. There have been numberous threads about cheap RC controls and alternatives to the RC controls.
