Wiring it up for VEX.

[ttldomination]

Hello Everyone,

Over the past couple of months, I've heard a lot about wiring up the current control system to get it up and running with a VEX micro-controller.

Now, I'm super curious about this and I guess I have two primary questions.

1) From my somewhat limited understanding of the electronics on a typical FRC robot, do I understand correctly that the micro-controller would only replace the digital sideCar and the cRio?

2) From my very limited understanding of the driver station setup on a typical FRC robot, will we be able to use something other than the VEX joysticks to control the FRC bots? I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way to hook up a USB XBOX controller or some standard joysticks to the VEX microcontroller?

Much appreciated,
Sunny G.
