How would I interface a flash drive to the RC?
I know it's a crazy idea, but I'm getting frustrated about having bugs on the field that don't show their ugly faces in testing, and I believe a thumbdrive counts as a COTS item. I would like to save a log file to the drive; saving the printfs maybe for the entire match. And I'm interested in how the transitions happen at the beginning of the match (is it Disabled -> Auton -> human control or is it Disabled and Auton -> Auton -> human control). I would like to log all that data to a flash drive. Now, I have no idea how to do that. I only got the idea because it is a universal serial bus drive and therefore should work...somehow...

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, or even any hints, I would be most grateful to hear them.

Thanks
