Now if only I could get some free time, Tom Bottiglieri to stop working on 125's robot for a while to write me some C#, and my hands on an FRC controller, I would throw up a Wiimote teaser...

Re: pic: DDR Teaser

That's something we joked about doing last year. Too bad it violates <R78>, because it doesn't fit on the shelf and its not hand held or worn by the driver.

Re: pic: DDR Teaser

Just a guess...

But I don't think the teaser is real. The USB Chicklet it very picky about the xbox HID connected... For instance, I had 2 official xbox controllers, and it only liked one of them (The one made in malaysia, not china) because it was a different version of the chip. My Mad Catz controller was not compatible. Most DDR pads, especially those really cheap ones (Non-metal, unlike the ones that I play on) use 3rd party no-brand HID controllers because they simply work with the xbox, where as the chicklet needs to directly decode the same controller every time.

I could be wrong though, and I do apologize if I am. I'm not trying to discredit anything that was done, I just think that this isn't what it seams to be...

Actually, according to a thread in the Q and A, it is legal.
"The intent of Rule <R78> is that Operator Consoles that require support rest entirely on the provided shelf, and not hang on the Alliance Station Wall or other structural elements. A DDR control pad resting on the floor satisfies the intent of the rule, and would be permitted as long as the control pad remains entirely within the player station in the Alliance Zone (e.g. does not cross the Players Line and does not intrude into the player stations of the adjacent teams).

If you do implement this controller, please let us know at which competition events you will be competing. We want to come and see this in action!"http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=1565

Re: pic: DDR Teaser

About Xbox controllers:
Anyone at the Detroit Regional two years ago may remember that we at 1701 had a clear Xbox case, containing the OI, and Two xbox controllers to drive the robot. We took apart the two xbox controllers, completely rewired them, and managed to conect them to the OI. We may have had two cables per controller, but it was the sweetest controller there. It was awesome.

Re: pic: DDR Teaser

Yeah, That would be the only other way to do it without replacing the HID. Also the only way to use a PS / PS2 / PS3 controller, because these aren't USB complient.

Re: pic: DDR Teaser

Yea, The USB Chicklet is made to make it easier to use a UBS controller, but you can use anyone you want. Last year we used a SNES controller...which took forever to wire, but it was cool.

Its use the USB Chicklet with the Universal pad that we buy at Gamestop, that just happens to have a USB port on it.
