Two quick things,
you've resurrected an old thread
The Samantha module is required for FTC team participation. Rookie teams will receive a module as part of their kit of parts until the initial quantitates run out or something along that line. (A foundation paid for the initial development by Cisco systems and the initial production run... I could have my facts wrong) Returning veteran teams who did not participate last season and eventually rookie teams will need to purchase this item.
