[FTC]: Samantha price increase

Does anyone know if the Samantha price increase to $65 after June 1 means hardware improvements?

I've not heard of any changes for the module for next season. This module was developed and then two years of production was partially funded by a major donation. The price increase likely reflects the true cost of the device. Send your thanks to the Kauffman foundation for helping FIRST solve the FCS system issue and helping reduce the cost to teams with the new technology.

I don't know if the hardware is improved, but it wasn't necessary to load the samantha.hex files onto it. It flashed red white blue white red as soon as it was plugged it in.
