 The 2008 team is not the 2007 team and won't be the 2009 team. Every year is a new year and a new opportunity for growth and development as a FIRST team. It's very cool. - JaneYoung [more] |

Re: Creative uses for the USB Port
What worries me about the USB Chicklet rule wording is this:
The USB Chicklet is the only device allowed to be powered in your controls. However, the USB Chicklet has to provide power to a USB device, as per the USB specification, up to 500mA. If I build my own custom USB device that is USB HID compatible, I have just constructed a powered control element that doesn't violate any of the rules. I could power a PIC microcontroller and hook it straight into my OI, but it would be within the rules. Sounds a bit strange to me.
