Re: Driver station coding and other

I believe I read somewhere (don't bother asking for a link) that all of the bots on the field are isolated between the DS and the bot, so no team can access another team's bot. This is most likely why you get assigned a specific station, since only that one is setup to recognize your robot IP

Also, Java can be built from linux. That's the entire point of Java, to be platform-independent. The robot runs a VM, so Java code can be made from any old java compiler.

Also, C++ is using a slightly modified version of GCC, so if you set the right command-line stuff I think a regular distribution of GCC might work
