[FTC]: Field Hardware USB hub

WE have a field that is permanently set up. We have FCS working fine, however, We would like to set up the Controllers using the USB Hubs just like in Competitions. Is there a parts list for setting up the field?

Re: [FTC]: Field Hardware USB hub

Per alliance station, you'll need the following:

1 Powered USB hub (Needs to be powered, I recommend a 7 Port Hub)
4 Logitech controllers (F310, with the switch on the bottom set properly)
1 USB Extension cord (Preferably with a repeater)

You ought to be able to find all the parts you need at OfficeMax, BestBuy or Radioshack. Good luck. And if you need any further tips, let me know.

Re: [FTC]: Field Hardware USB hub

Here in Florida we have 5 Leagues that each has a "tournament in a box" which is all of the field electronics in a box ready to set up a tournament in a matter of minutes. This is the hub and cables we use for the setup.
