QUOTE=meatmanek;582808] I think any team which can manage to get a wiimote hooked to an OI, and have it control the robot intelligently should not be penalized. Instead, they should be given an award.[/quote]

Yes, I agree. The Chicklet supports a wireless gamepad. We use the wireless for debugging and testing. It is great, you never have to get up from your computer to "man" the controls, you can walk behind the robot to get different perspectives. They operate at 2.4 GHZ and should not cause any interferance with the radios. We are not using it because we are not certain about the rule.
