FRC Q&A Clarifies use of "Carrier' boards with Cypress FirstTouch Board
We have received many inquires concerning the use of the Cypress Carrier Board for the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition.
FIRST has made it very clear in Team Update #4 and a subsequent GDC post in the FRC Q&A that the Cypress Carrier Board is LEGAL. Team Update 4 specifically states... Section 8 – The Game, Rev D has been updated to include the following edits: <R82> Teams are permitted to connect a portable computing device (Laptop computer, PDAs, etc.) to the DRIVER STATION for the purpose of displaying feedback from the ROBOT while participating in competition MATCHES. Portable computing devices may only connect to the DRIVER STATION through one of the USB ports or through the First Touch I/O module (or a carrier board for the First Touch I/O module) the breadboard – they shall not connect to the DRIVER STATION through any other port. The FRC Q&A further clarifies by answering the question posted by 2010FRC3126... http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=14155 2010FRC3126 Since Team Update #4, may we use the Cypress carrier and enclosure from AndyMark? ... GDC Game Design Committee Re: Since Team Update #4, may we use the Cypress carrier and enclosure from AndyMark? Yes. The Cypress Carrier Board is in stock and available to teams at both AndyMark and eStop Robotics.

Yeah, it's in stock... but when's ours going to arrive? j/k, we only ordered it yesterday
 It looks like a great product, with all the features we could need included.

Re: FRC Q&A Clarifies use of "Carrier' boards with Cypress FirstTouch Board
So you are basically saying that the Cypress Carrier is used in place of the I/O board? Or do they have totally different functions?
