I'm a Lego League coach. We're not allowed to use anything but the stock software and language for competition, but we can use whatever we want for the team project (this year's theme is Nature's Fury, and the kids are working on a way to easily use a car as a generator during a power outage). I'll have to look into this!
- andrewnez 13y agoTo communicate with the EV3 over bluetooth you don't need to make any modifications to the EV3 software at all so that could be a possibility although you'll need to check the rule book I suspect.
- gagege 13y agoRight, what I mean is that they can only run programs (and communicate with the robot) in the Lego Mindstorms drag and drop language (which is actually decent). If we could have someone with an Xbox controller in the bleachers somewhere that would be cheating.
- cbhl 13y agoWhen I was in FTC a few years ago, "stock software" referred to both the software on the laptop and the software on the robot. In particular, I recall Linux on the laptop wasn't a supported OS for any of the allowed programming environments (LabView and RobotC).
