And what happened to "The Robocats"?

The driver has worked closely with the programming team and has requested several 'modes' to drive in. He could be a fighter pilot with the way he drives this thing on an open field...

We rebranded under the name iLITE so we could have an umbrella for all of the FLL & FTC teams we support. We also support nationwide SEAPerch training, including curriculum creation for entire school districts. We actually just had our local county's SEAPerch brain trust meeting tonight. Fun stuff there.

There's no documentation on the display, but sometime in the future we might put a paper out. The mentors are all software engineers, and all but one of us work on Java displays for real-time integrated data display systems ... so of course we had to teach the students something about that once we learned about the data we get from the cRIO. The driver, I, and the lead programming mentor came up with the requirements for a simple display. The programming mentor created a framework, and the students took off from there. They even created data to drive the display, even though it also runs with real data from the camera. The clip was posed with the student software lead, though I didn't ask her permission to put her pic up so I clipped the display instead. Needless to say, I was pretty speechless when I saw how far the students got with it. It even shows the state of each linkage module, which really gets some action when we're driving around.

And yes, we'll miss Chantilly at VCU Always a pleasure working with you guys. Good luck this year!
