The 2CAN was not specifically allowed last year. The rules allowed any team to make a device that provides a gateway between the cRIO and CAN using either the serial port or Ethernet port #2 of the cRIO. The tokenization algorithm between the Jaguars and the cRIO prevents anyone other than the cRIO from setting any throttles.

On another note the new web-site is up and running. Please take a look and provide feedback. Both positive and constructive feedback is welcome. New firmware has been posted for both the CANipede and the 2CAN. Also take at the Cross-link Control System. All of the above are available for purchase. The open source RCS(robot control software) files will be posted soon. The RCS installer is available now and is a free download.
