How would the classmate send data back to the robot?
The only data the DS software transfers is from the joysticks, not a serial port.

Not to mention having to lug the cRio, power supply, usb to ethernet (or serial) as well as the regular driverstation. It would be heavy. Hope you have strong drivers!
