Danny,

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. What I had meant to propose is that the final Toolkit supplied to the Teams contain VI's which would enable the programmers to model their robot's behavior by running on the PC rather than the cRio. If this approach would involve duplicate work for the development team (modeling the FPGA itself), then could we use the program running on the cRio, monitoring the outputs on our custom 'Dashboard' and modeling the gear ratios and chosen motor characteristics?

In this way we could intelligently model the electrical system's load requirements under actual operating conditions, rather than watching for 'magic smoke'. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/im...lies/smile.gif
