Re: New control Board

Yes, for the 2010 season we are getting a new Driver Station setup. There won't be any blue "control box" anymore, we will be running a virtual driver station on a computer. Joysticks, etc. will be hooked up to this computer. Furthermore, FIRST is giving each team a Classmate PC notebook computer to use out on the field for this purpose. So far it looks good, benefits are great.

Links/resources:
Bill's Blog, which has made the most official announcements about this. The posts about the driver station are far in between, so I'm sorry but you'll have to hunt around a little bit. The best one is the one with the picture.

Beta Test forums, which is where the beta test teams will be posting updates and answering questions. They've given out some great information already. Hot stuff.

Hope that helps! And for sure search around here too, CD is a great resource.
