Hi, I’m trying to download a program to the pololu romi robot (which uses wpilib) without using WIFI. This is because for the Robot Tour competition, “Sending the program to the robot is allowed using either a hardwire cable like an USB cable, Bluetooth connection, or a memory device like a SD card. Communicating to the Robot over a WiFi network is not allowed.” Is there any way I can do this? Is it possible to download it via the SD card?
When using the Romi with WPILib, the code executes on the laptop, and sends commands to the robot over wifi. There are other ways to deploy code to the Romi without using WPILIb or the WPILIb image. That appears to be what the Science Olympiad is expecting you to do, and there are probably other forums that are better to answer questions for that competition.
Do you know what specifically the other ways are?
It looks like the easiest way would be to remove the Raspberry Pi and program the control board directly using Arduino: Romi32U4 library: Romi32U4 library
