i am not impressed.!
you have all missed the most obvious clues with this board. you keep trying to fasten it to the robot.

clues
1. the power available from a robot controller is +7.2 and +5 volts.
the power for a field component is usually a 12 volt battery.
this board runs on 5 volts but requires between 7 and 15 volts!!

2. the ribbion cable is not configured anywhere like a digital connection on the controller.

3. the learning of a remote allows the newton field to use differrent codes from the curie field.
if each team had to learn an alliance partner code it would take too much time between matches.

4. there are 4 outputs from the board. there are 4 corners on the field. 2 red remotes and 2 blue remotes would allow teams to trigger 4 release mecanisms.

we have cmu-cam to collect data. now we will have IR remotes on the robot to send data to the field.!!
please put this board on the field where it belongs.
