Off Season Control Systems
Hi Chief Delphi,

I'm a few years out of first, but I'm thinking about taking up a special project with some former FIRSTers. What is the current favorite set of parts to build an off season control system with?

I'm familiar with the options from Cross the Road electronics, but I'm not sure I need something as heavy duty as I/O over CAN bus. It would be nice to be able to run programs locally (as opposed to being purely being remote I/O). I'm capable of building up everything from the microcontroller level, but we'd like to not re-create libraries/hardware that exist already.

Thanks!
