Anyway, thanks for the thought. This will definately be on my bot next year to handle all my IO...

EDIT:... Just thinking... The EDU-Bot controller has TTL on it... Could you use this to interface with the FRC using the TTL chip onboard?

I am sure you can use the ttl but most teams prefer to use that for the camera. You can use the programming port.

However If you are going to go through the trouble of getting a co-processor working atleast make it worth while, a vex controller really doesn't give you much of an advantage, I would look into better systems (gumstix for example.)
