Different Infared commands every match...

You do have a very good point....
Didn't think of that....

I mainly want the 08' code because it has the IR board already in it so we can just test our system out a bit with it....

Huh? Who said there was code with that already in it? Fourth year doing this, and I seriously doubt there will be code with a template for the IR stuff...

how about if you press button 1, activate power forward, UNTIL you press button two, which turns it off. so it's not a toggle. Each button does it's one command (Unless it can't be done, like forward can't start if it's going, the bot can't stop if it's not moving) and you get a "toggle" effect (although at the cost of another button/command.)

That's not a toggle - that's two different actions (Go, Stop) on two different buttons. Sounds perfectly legal.

popo308,
As far as I know, there is no 2008 default code, just like there was no 2007 default code - it's the same as in 2006. The InfraRed sensor board simply hooks up to digital IO pins on the robot.

Relating to Team Update 3, it seems that FIRST still hasn't entirely decided on some things...Toggles are not allowed (although I personally don't see why if it's on-off and therefore equivalent to holding the button), as stated in several Q&A forum responses. However, they have given contradictory responses regarding a "Turn left" command or an "Increment motors" command. The related Q&A posts from team 449 and the answer has been taken down, so I guess we'll have to just wait and see...

Someone in a different thread apparentally "quoted" fromt he default code....

They said they had the 2008 default code and it had preprogramed IR commands for basic tank steer

I will have to see if i can find that thread again
