very interesting. One of the problems I often ran into was debugging the robot while it was being driven around. For example, trying to debug a closed loop feedback steering control system that is using solid state gyros.

You cant do that just putting the robot on the cart, because the gyros (and the robot) have to actually turn to function.

Very often I wished I could connect my digital scope to the control loop, while it was being driven. Something like this data logger could be the answer: put your robot in auton mode, or driving closed loop, and it collects data from the control system, then you download it to your laptop for analysis.

Lots of potential here!
