Re: Should we use std::unique_ptr?
Yes WPIlib is moving to using more of the standard library pointer wrappers. I like using them because it makes it way easier to manage the code. Also you don't have to cast to a subsystem pointer....

Re: Docker for FRC - Better Environment Setup

Re: Alternatives to RoboRIO or Robot Controllers
That looks great! I think this is more what we are looking for. I like the fact that is just a barebone linux machine with a bit more robustness. The price point is also really great. I plan on...
