So you can imagine my sense of revulsion when I saw the RSLogix stuff. Fortunately, I think FIRST is going to keep it far from the robots. Its presence implies to me that the game elements need to be processed/scored in a way that occurs too rapidly for humans—hence the sensors and PLC stuff—yet it's important enough to the game that teams will need it after kickoff to test with.
If I remember correctly from a diagram I saw, the RSLogix controllers are inside the scorpion case to communicate with the SCCs and other field electronics and whatnot. From the qtys it doesn't look like each team will get one, there are two standard RSLogix controllers, one for each new field.
