Control Robot with Computer

You might find it interesting to get in touch with the people working on this project at the VEX forum.

The VEX and FRC robot controllers are quite similar and it sounds like you both have similar goals in mind.

Also, I am not 100% sure, and I cant check right now, but there is an option in IFI loader that lets you check registers and such, I also recall seeing an option letting me move PWMs around... Can't recall where. Check around in IFI loader.

The above may be VERY wrong, I just had a glance at something while i was trying to solve a problem. No promises.

Thanks for the "plug". Communication between Computer Devices is an area that really interests me, that is what I do at my Day Job, and I find it a most interesting area of Computer Science.

I put a "call out" to the people that were interested in making a PC Program to control the Vex(and FRC) robot (see Does anyone have a PC program to work with the Vex On-Line Code?).

With Source Code for the Vex (and FRC) Controller and the PC, just about anything can be accomplished.
Windows seems to main platform of interest, but I have talked with Mac Users interested in developing a Control Program as well.
