More on this when I am able to test, because I dont know if their protocol has changed with the season update, I will keep you/everybody informed.

As for using this in a competiton
NO
this is dis-allowed on a couple fronts, mainly the fact that there are no wireless communications allowed on the field other than the robots. The only way this would be allowed as an actual, legal control method, is if the application outputted necessary information via the connection port, and that data was then processed by a micro-controller of some sort with an Ethernet connection and then sent to the FMS. While that is kind of an annoying way to do it, I have been looking into the possibility/plausibility/practicality of the system.
