Unless I've missed something, I believe you *can* do this in LabView already. Granted, you can't use a web browser, but it was my understanding that LabView allows you to modify variables on the fly while debugging the robot.

That feature of LabView was actually the inspiration for doing this -- I had been talking to someone, and they mentioned they liked the fact that they could tune their PID controllers while the bot was running. So I figured, why can't I do that in C++?
