Re: Practice bots: OK with rules/spirit of competition?

By my count (Assuming they haven't broken their old ones) they should have 3. The Linksys DS radio from 2009, the Linksys gaming bridge from 2009, and the new bridge/radio from 2011.

There are two options for setup on this:

1. Run each as its own network. This would require two DS computers (including your Classmate, so you just need to find another one). You would run the practice bot using the pair of 2009 radios and the extra laptop, and the competition bot using the new 2011 radio and the Classmate. You would need two sets of driver controls as well, which might not be easy if you use the Cypress board.

2. Run one as a different team. Pick a team you like, or another number you won't forget. Image the practice bot as so, and setup the second laptop and old radios as well. In LabVIEW, you could create a new build specification for practice, which would just change the robot IP.

Or you could just not use them both at once. If you need to run another robot against the practice bot (maybe a boxbot or a kitbot or something for driver anti-defensive training?) you could just use an IFI control system. You wouldn't even need to program it (gotta love default code).
