Anyone tried them yet?

We've been running our 2008 robot using Samantha and iTouch. Not game legal, but very much fun. No need to change any Robot software, just add some hardware to the robot.

Basic steps for easy success:

1) Load Samantha Software onto PC from Zip file
2) Configure router with standard SSID (FTC_FIELD)
3) Run Samantha Network Config program (to generate setup file)
4) Put setup file on Flash Drive
5) Plug flash drive into Samantha to transfer your setup.
6) Run new FCS program to drive robot or use Samomoto app on itouch.

Naturally there are several details that I've omitted, but the online instructions show lots of good animated pics, to explain how to read the Samantha status LEDs. Learn these !!!!!!

Samantha = fun!!!
