LabVIEW Runtime for Linux

[Greg McKaskle]

The DS is a trusted element of the field and the robot control system and it is responsible for some portion of safe robot operation.

Putting the DS on other OSes, supporting proprietary controllers, and other enhancements are fine ideas, and the Kinect integration is an example of how FIRST has enhanced the DS. But these cannot interfere with the primary responsibility of the DS.

Perhaps it would be useful to break this discussion into smaller requests and consider them independently and see if something comes out that is simpler and easier to validate than the original topic.

Which is the bigger request, MacOS, linux, rumble, analog triggers on XBox360, or ???

Doing all of these while maintaining safety is asking for quite a lot. Simply testing the combinations would take quite a bit of effort.
