Re: Classmate Netbook

I don't think you phrased that in a way that will get you a useful answer.

The answer to the question I see there is this: Yes, you can use the Driver Station to control the robot. In fact, you must use the Driver Station software in order for the robot to function. You don't have to run it on a Classmate, as any recent Windows computer with an Ethernet connection should be able to support it, but you do need it. You can make everything autonomous if you want to, but you probably shouldn't.

(The answer to a question I think you might be asking instead is this: The MINIBOT doesn't have to have something called a controller, but it must be completely autonomous once it has separated from the HOSTBOT.)
