Re: [BB] So, what about the Classmate?
So the document Bill linked to would say the new team 47-65 or whatever it ends up as would retain Hall of Fame status, but not necessarily championship elgibility as that's determined by number? Bit of a sidetrack though.
The parts they want us to reuse seem completely reasonable. It'd be nice if we could keep the 2009 driver station completely together, but the teams that preserve robots to demonstrate and drive around are the same teams that can afford to drop a few dollars here and there on replacement joysticks (or didn't use them at all). The KoP joysticks this year were excellent, though.
Classmate PC is a fine replacement for the Driver Station. Hopefully there will be less dead Ethernet ports and electrical shorts. Touchscreen autonomous options as well as other fun control stuff, the possibilities could be endless there.
I'm glad for the electronic Consent forms, in case I don't get to a 1714 meeting before Kickoff.
