Yeah I saw that the DriverStation was ARM9 and gcc and the like can all do ARM compilation easily, but I couldn't find the specific kernel source and modules and such for the DriverStation since it wouldn't be competition legal, not to mention I'm sure they want to keep it proprietary.

Thanks for the response though.
