Re: Malicous RC Code?

I believe if you have a programming link (IE serial cable in prog port connected to laptop) to the RC at power-up you don't need to press the program button.

The old Pbasic controller had these modems (EWave Stampers) you could buy to debug and program the robot remotely (very useful, cut debug time in half). I could not get them to work on this year's RC (but they possibly could be modified to work). Maybe Ewave will develop new modems for the PIC RC in the future. If you were to plant the modem on a robot (well a 2003 bot) then you could program it from the stands to do a dance or whatever (would make an interesting practice round).

As for this year, small device could handshake with the program port on power-up and then download the machine code for the aforementioned "Dance Program" from an EEPROM in the device. Now there is an offseason project for you

Disclaimer: I am just kidding and tossing ideas around (like hopefully everyone on this thread). Actually reprogamming a competitor's robot maliciously during a match would probably be the worst violation of Gracious Professionalism in FIRST History. However, it is fun to joke about these things. Come on, Who hasn't proposed an EMP burst bot or Tesla coil bot during Brainstroming?
