 One of my early mentors gave me wise words -- when designing a system to compile & analyze information, your first design choice should always include consideration of a stack of 3x5 file cards. - Jaxom [more] |

Re: <R79> and Coaches with Portable Computers
Wow, this just strikes me as a bad idea.
I would think it's still possible to program buttons on the existing UI to port through the controller, over the RS232, and into a waiting computer. Once you can do that, there's nothing to stop teams from writing programs to monitor the playing field and calculate (in real time) the optimal location for placing a ringer or spoiler. Or, on the defensive side, calculating the location where your opponent could do the same. I can envision a button box with 3 rows of 8 toggle switches to indicate which rack positions are red/blue/empty. That data gets routed through the dashboard port to a waiting computer that spits out a strategy. Is this possible? I hope not. |
