A DB9 extension coming from both the tether and the Programming Ports and placed on the robot for easy access so that the programmer doesn't have to dig around / remove things to get access to the RC.

we put one of those on our robot ... then in the first regional, we took them of for weight ... ROFLOLMAOL!
its the little luxuries that go first
one good thing about sub teams is it lets the individual aspects of the robots be excelled beyond "just getting it done"
the small success our team has been blessed enough to have in the way of innovation awards, i like to believe, comes from specialization based on sub teams
if you just want to "wire up that there robot" yes, electronics is just wiring that anyone can do. but if you want to learn and excel, its best to have sub teams were you can concentrate and flourish in your individual area of interest
don't get me wrong though, everyone on our team is expected to be proficient in at least two "areas" so communication between sub teams is made much much easier
