Ethernet port on robot
Ok, so my electrical peeps have posed a question and before I say ok I would like to know if anyone else has tried this.
They want to mount an Ethernet port on the bot. The Ethernet cable on the backside would lead to a port on the cRio and be 'permanently' connected (i.e. there would be no need to plug and unplug this cable from the cRio).
The idea is that when the coders needed to upload code they would do so through this port instead of having to, 'reach inside the bot where there are sharp pointy things that can poke and scratch the coders' sensitive hands.'
I have searched CD and have not seen where anyone has done this and according to the peeps interpretation of the rules this would fall under a 'custom circuit'.
I have told them that I was first going to check CD and then post in Q&A before I would consent to their experiment.
Thoughts?
