This is more what I was looking for, along with the later post. Just saying "it's cool" is like will.i.am saying the 2011 game was "dope" at Kickoff--there are a number of possible meanings. (For example, someone just saw mecanums and said "Oooh, I want some!" is one potential meaning.)

A little more content like this, however--the attention attractor for non-FIRSTers, the testing done so far, and other similar things--and the meaning is clear: you've looked at the alternatives and decided this is the one.

Out of curiosity... is a matching shooter going on top? You've got 4 weeks to perfect that, and a driving base to work with. Or is there something else up your sleeves?
