A more useful project: A full control system emulator. One of these would be handy for testing code out when you don't have the robot handy. Also, a good way to test before downloading to the robot.
If you could make the PWM/Relay outputs so that you could label them (so you know what's going on with the "motors") and visualize their output, while also being able to control the OI, that would be awesome.
Good project for someone with more time and patience then me!

Okay... first major setback.
The radio modems and the OI/RC use RS-422 ports. They communicate differently than standard serial RS-232 ports found in your computer. In short, no radio modems unless you figure out a way to work around this problem... I'll research it more... Converters are available to convert it electrically, but it'll cost ya $80.
I don't know if the tether port also uses this method of communication...

I forgot about that. Another very good point.
