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.

My coach said something about a datalogger, but I never heard more about it, and since my team's not on the pilot team list, I guess this isn't an option.

Darn. It sounds really cool! But it looks like we missed the deadline.
