Re: 2007 Robot Controller

I used to be on the bandwagon that wanted a USB interface.

However much a USB interface would benefit those doing solely IFI programming, it would be detrimental to those teams using off-board processors. Right now there are two ways to get information to the IFI board during a game. The program port and the TTL port. Unless you feel like designing a pass-through system so you can use your system and the camera on the TTL port, the other option is using the program port.

I mean I guess we could just use a USB->Serial converter, but I'd rather have slow programming time than slow data transmission.
