Re: COTS Parts made just for FIRST Robots
1) I think a good channel select, Autonomous Mode select, Estop box would be great.
2) I would also like a turn key, wireless programming link (including the ability to activate the "robot reset" and "program" switches.
3) Although IFI is probably about to redo the IO, I think it would be great to have some easy breakout board that would make customizing OI easier. I am thinking something that would plug into all the joystick ports but it would allow you to plug in 4 joysticks but you could use jumpers to map any of the joystick switches and pots to any of the joystick ports.
Also, I'd put a few LEDs on the board and some switches, along with a few slider pots and a few knobs and let those be patched in easily too.
It is probably not going to happen, but it would be a nice thing to have.
