Team Leaders, for those of you who have limited access to your shop or school, Team 2220, Blue Twilight, has come up with an incredible, technical solution for remotely driving and programming your robots. The solution works over the internet with about 200 millisecond (imperceptible) lag, where the driver can be anywhere in the world where internet or cell service is available. The idea is that the many students whose parents will not let them back in school until the pandemic is over can still safely work on and practice with the actual robot, as can team sponsors. The system even provides the opportunity to conduct remote matches. Twilight gave a presentation about the system at the last Jumpstart (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q3cTuBgmyV8j6UbVHLqjzuNYvF1nuNKd ) and is working with AndyMark to sell a prepackaged system. A BOM for the system as well as complete step-by-step guide are available on the Team 2220 website (https://www.team2220.org/how-to-program-and-drive-your-robot-over-the-internet )
