We did something similar last year, but it was all done on the IFI hardware. I like bringing it off of the RC though; we ran into some interrupt problems between the encoders, timers, and constant serial traffic between the RC and our LCD screen system.

Serial traffic alone is building up trouble, we're overflowing buffers a lot, so we may have to minimize the amount of data available. I think the IFI serial port system just wants to make people cry 
What kind of LCD system did you use? We're looking in to adding that functionality, if its worthy of the extra wiring and code and presents a useful advantage.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
