We still use ours for practice robots.
Even after a robot landed on it in 2010 and dented the case.


On topic, I am interested to see the possible solutions. I hope all of the developers will focus on simplicity before optional features, as I would much rather have a simpler system that always works than something even more complicated than what we have now that also has a USB2 port. That said, I would love more features if they are reliable and don't cost too much in terms of weight/complexity, especially if they're optional - such as a smart PD board that can optionally be connected to a CAN/LIN bus or left unconnected.

I also wish FIRST would give up on processing vision on the RC itself. Dashboard is fine, coprocessor is fine, just not the RC itself. It's already busy.
