Hello All,

This whole conversation about these new control boxes is really starting to ROCK. I thought I had seen some cool stuff in my four years of FIRST but it sounds as tho InovationFIRST is here to say that that was nothing. Especially with all this talk of laptops and 3D displays.....just WOW is all I have to say. Can't wait to go visit Blue Lightning over my Holiday break and get my hands dirty in some of this stuff ;-) ;-)

Rock on InovationFIRST.

Hello All;

From the looks of the hardware in the photos (gotta love labels!), I'd say we have a wonderful year ahead of us.

I wonder how much additional controllers are going to cost? I have work projects that could use a good remote control...

Notice 'SPIKE', the new relay modules. Finally, truly distributed power control.

This is going to be great.

Couple things:
1. Does anyone know why FIRST is in a rush to horde back all the old control systems? There are rumors of course, but any real answers?

2. Does anyone know how long InnovationFirst has been developing this new control system, and or if they've been tested thoroughly? i've heard rumors about this, but i won't go into them at this point...

The new control system looks awesome! i can't wait till we get the kit!!!
