Re: what is the purpose

The laptop, or a similar laptop will run a program called the Driver Station. It will take in joystick inputs and have additional USB devices plugged in. In the window of the driver station, you configure which robot you want to control, enable, disable, and generally control the robot.

You can also use this laptop for programming, planning, etc.
