control system worth more than $500

I dont know if you all knew this but we make sure we get our monies worth from our control system. When the school board found that it cost $4000.00 they made sure that we utilized its full potential.
When the FIRST program is not running we use this clever system to run part of the schools mechanicals and so far it has never let us down.
It is programed to close fire doors and windows in an emergency. It also works on part of the PA system and security cameras.
Because of the many extra functions available to this years controler we even found a way to have it work the stage lighting and curtains in the auditorium.
So for 44 weeks of the year the school gets full use of the control system and we just borrow it for 8 weeks during the competitions. I have always wondered what they do for the AUTO FLUSH system in the toilets when the unit is in our Robot?. Maybe this explains the gurggling sounds that come from our transmission.
