There is a way to rewrite the RC/OI dashboard progam in which you can implement a custom packet structure. This is probably way too much work with the current FRC system. I believe Innovation FIRST should consider making the dashboard progam more expandable. These changes could be adding more/less packets or different timing baud and protocol options.
For instance, You could implement a timestamp function on the RC which relays timing infromation through one of the dashboard ports to get a more real time control feedback.
