Yet another post from the ‘Dashboard Guy’…
Ever since the dashboard port was announced, there has been a LOT of buzz around the teams as to the possibility for advanced feedback. However, after seeing the field at Great Lakes, I only saw two teams actually using a laptop on the field, with at least one more on the way being worked on in the pits. I was just wondering how many people are actually planning to use it? Also, if you are using my decoder, please mention that in your post too. =) Thanks!

We will be using JBoard, a program one of our students made. It’s pretty cool.

I wrote PortSnoop, but since we can’t afford a powerful enough laptop, we can’t use it. And I don’t think we could use it on the field and be in good relations with our coach at the same time :).
But I got away with it by using Pbasic’s Debug…

You sure about that Tony? I’ve run the demo program with the decoder on machines as low as a 133 Pentium with 16MB RAM…

While on the field? How are you pulling that off?
