2004 Dashboard Protocal vs 2005 Dashboard Protocal
I've only started programming for the FIRST robotics competition this year, and I'm wondering if the 2004 dashboard protocal is compatible with 2005. On first inspection, they seemed identical (minus breakers using the user_bytes), but now I'm not so sure.

I've written an ActiveX control in visual basic for this year, and was going to submit it to whitepapers, and then I noticed a similar one for last year (2004)'s dashboard software. Are the two pieces of sofware identical in purpose, or should I submit mine anyway?

Thanks,

Kyle
