If things go well in our off-season software training this fall, I'll consider polishing it up for publication here.

Ditto. Team 1024's programming group calls ours RALFF... even has a (slightly unstable

) GUI compainion software that allows easy compilation of autonomous scripts by anybody on the team. RALFF was installed on this year's robot however its sensors never worked so it didnt show off like many saw on our amazing 2006 autonomous modes...
I'll have to write a whitepaper on scripting languages sometime... ehh... sometime...
And eh, again, on the whole x86 based robot controller thing... to make it work (and no, the HDD would NEVER take the g's)... you'd need a
heck of alot of hardware... see previous post for an estimate.
