I might not be a crackerjack programmer, but I'm willing to contribute any coding I can. IIRC you can purchase GPS units that can feedback through a serial port to a computer. An idea perhaps, use a modified version of the StangPS plotting software and a GPS program written to take in the info and map it onto the virtual path, then you can plot the course via computer when preparing for the race. If we can get it to work like 111's auto code, I'd say we are in good shape. I'd like to work with someone on the GPS input side of things, but I'll need specifications, mainly what unit are you using and how does it interface? How does it form the packets of information. Once I have that I'm confident I can (with 111's programming hlep) build a program to plot a GPS course. It won't help with local stuff, but at least it can keep itself in the general right direction :-). So one you decide on a GPS unit, lemme know and I'll try to come up with something.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
