We could test the robot and use the screen as a pseudo terminal to test functions of the robot without a laptop.

We created a menu system which made configuring the robot like using a copy machine. You could use up and down buttons to change the menu options, and select/back to advance through the sub menus.

The real glory in our system was in the pocket PC based waypoint creator. Make the waypoints on the PPC, plug in the serial cable, and it automatically synced. Cool stuff.
