Yeah, it's probably impossible to make things completely student proof. But then, the failures can be better teachers than the successes
BTW, I've been in contact with Kate and she's looking into how we might get something going. It would be really interesting to be able to add the DSP capabilities of the TI OMAP (ARM Cortex A8 @ 700+ MHz) and a Xilinx FPGA to the mix for FIRST. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks,
Mike
