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

If you're planning to sue the monitor for development only, and not competition, then you should inquire in the National Instruments datalogger / LabView forum. Danny Diaz (who works for NI) can give you help in getting their 6009 logger connected to the robot.

We were a NI pilot team last year, and we spent about a week collecting data this way before shipping. We did find some glitches witht he aiming system, and modified the design to get around them.

The effort to connect the logger to the robot is not that hgh, since it's all temporary, and there's almost nothing the logger cannot measure. Once you learn a little about LabView, you can make a logging system that's pretty sophisticated.

This is how it's done in industry.

Note that Danny & friends have just released a "robot simulator" that uses the 6009 to simulate your robot - so you can play with the code without having the robot physically present. This is big.
