Re: [FTC]: Short USB cables for Samantha Module

This will be interesting (samantha), I wonder if programming can be done over it.
If not, then it will be the reverse of previous years.
Previous: Program over USB (during comps, so it doesn't disconnect from the FCS) and drive over bluetooth
Now: Program over bluetooth, then drive over USB (through samantha)

It would be nice if first gave us a short USB cable in the kit to connect to it.
If not, then I foresee many teams with 3ft + of USB cord coiled up inside the frame.
