Go to Post Yes ONE blue banner would be nice one of these days, but I've never lost focus of why we as mentors do what we do. It's about preparing the students for "defense" in life, and laugh when your robot gets scored into a goal. - Chris_Elston [more]

And actually, there's no set "pinout" for the port. The bulk of the communication(radio channel, color, feedback to field control equipment, etc) is managed through a two-way communication between the processor in the OI and a processor in the arena controller. The link mentioned above is pretty much all you can get without figuring out the communication protocol between the OI and AC. I believe the communication is also encrypted. And I wouldn't count on it being released any time soon, as that communication protocol is what ensures no interference or other problems caused by a rogue team at an event.
