FRC Player Station Rules

[lucas.alvarez96]

You could just use a higher res laptop with a bigger screen. There isn't rule that prohibits you from using a different PC than the Classmate. Anyway, you'd need to install LabVIEW+Update Suite if you're using LabVIEW for your robot+dashboard, or else, if programming with Java or C/C++, just install the Update Suite and the respective IDE to get the Driver Station and the special "Smart Dashboard".

Keep in mind that external monitors typically require their own power supply.

As per section 2.2.8 of the game manual:

Each PLAYER STATION also includes a single 120VAC NEMA 5-15R power outlet. It is located on the right side of each PLAYER STATION shelf. This outlet is protected by a 3-Amp circuit breaker and can be used to power the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

So you will need a power strip, and you'll need a monitor that doesn't draw much current. The monitor I'm using now draws 1.2A, and I believe the classmate draws 1.2A. You could of course also just charge your laptop before you get to the field.

It's possible, but you'll probably want to run some tests to make sure you don't trip the breaker at the competition.
