Support for ROBOTC for IFI
In case there is any question about the legality of using ROBOTC, here is an excerpt from the FRC rules, section 8 “The Robot”, <R67>:
“The control system is provided to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS. The Operative Interface, Robot Controller, speed controllers, relay modules, radio modems, batteries, battery charger, AC adapter and 9-pin cables shall not be tampered with, modified or adjusted in any way (tampering includes drilling, cutting machining, gluing, rewiring, etc.), with the following exceptions:
- User programmable code in the Robot Controller may be customized.”
So yes, ROBOTC is legal for the competition as ROBOTC’s custom firmware overwrites the USER part of the firmware but does not touch the master firmware, still allowing the FRC Robot to be controlled by the IFI control system.
