Re: Future of Autonomous Mode

Its pretty easy to integrate a program running on a PC with the mini-RC using the serial port. You can code all of your low-level functions on the RC with any high-level processing on the PC. The PC handles all of your "big picture" task management and the RC handles IO and actuator control. Your PC program is basically acting as a smart operator in teleoperation mode. You could probably mount a small laptop on a simple mobile robot base or use a wireless serial adaptor.

Obviously you won't be able to use this on the real robot for the FRC, but what are you going to do for the other 46 weeks of the year?
