Re: NI releasing/designing new controller for FRC

I started a new thread for default/template discussion. See Here.

I also started a new thread for library discussions. See Here.

Continuing on,
As for the LV issues, I didn't know that. I assumed it was library bloat, since the time goes up every year and compile/download times seem primarily related to number of files. A Buzz18 build (2013) are a lot shorter than a Buzz17 build (2012) and about the same as a Buzz15 build (2010). Other teams 2013 builds (from what I've seen, fairly small sample size) take 5-10x as long. It's painfully slow to help teams work through their issues between matches when you can't hardly deploy to look at anything. It's good to see it's being fixed, but the compile times have been on an upward trend for a while now.

Edit: Greg, was there ever a fix to the no-app issues (at high CPU load, bootload seemed to be starved and unable to download new code without no-app DIP)?
