Building your own competition controller can be done to some extent, granted you wont have all the same functionality of the IFI-Competition Controllers but you can get a limited alternative to it. Search around on the forums and you can find out how to change the team numbers to enable multiple channels so that you can use more then one un-tethered robot at a time in your own shop, and you can also construct a competition port dongle to enable and disable the robot and turn on autonomous modes. With this information and a little bit of elbow grease you can build something to turn on more then one robot and put them in autonomous mode together.
