Re: RoboRio

My favorite features

1. Linux: Full linux shell and features are just an ssh away
2. Java 8: No explanation needed
3. Units and Measures: In java pots will directly return an angle and encoders a distance
4. Eclipse: Already my standard IDE gains FRC
5. 5 second launch: The java program is saved on the roboRio as a jar. The jar is uploaded and launched without reboot in under 5 seconds.
6. PCM: Makes compressor control much easier

(Quick Note: Because of the linux shell you can run whatever java version you want)
