Re: How would I interface a flash drive to the RC?

Not only will you be able to log data into FAT32 files, but will also be able to script autonomous and PID gain control. The script can be written on any laptop with a card reader or USB port. The device is called Chicken-AID (Autonomous Interface Device). Chicken-AID will require an RC driver similar to the camera but no where near as complicated.
As ridiculously cool as that sounds (I'm bummed I didn't come up with it), I would never use a prebuilt solution like that. I understand it is meant to level the platform so less experienced teams, but I would have to build it myself first. (scampers around to get parts to copy off of Chicked-AID )

That would be nice...I probably will copy the idea...

EDIT: Just out of curiosity (if you're going to reveal any of it) is it PIC based? I've gotta get me one of those!
