Our Classmate PC appears to have .NET 3.5 pre-installed, and
this presentation on the DS seems to imply that teams will be allowed to override or enhance the default dashboard software with custom code. That said, I believe the actual control code must reside on the robot (i.e., on the cRIO). I imagine the Classmate can be used for robot feedback and typical DS functionality only.
During brainstorming, an idea was presented for some custom feedback code, which I hope we'll be allowed to implement.
