This approach works well.
How do you hook up two cameras to the RC? Do you just use the program port for one, or have you put together some kind of multiplexer?

Tatsu: "Yo Englert, what's our autonomous mode?"
Me: "We'll find out, won't we."
Both: *maniacal laughter*
After the match's autonomous period ends:
Me: "Well, the basic control system still responds. That's always good."
Both: *further laughter*
