Hi
I was doing some research, and am a little puzzled on FIRST's general take on OS support for 2015.
Up till now, I had assumed that FIRST officially supported Windows, and Windows only. And I haven't heard anything from Beta test teams regarding the DS or other official FRC tools running on other platforms.
Here is where it gets puzzling,
It seems that FRC is planning to announce
gazebo as the official supported simulator for at least C++ and Java, if not labview, and beta testing teams seem to have been testing this. Gazebo, however, is currently Linux and OS/x ONLY. They do schedule Windows support, but their roadmap places it's release date at January 26th, nearly half-way through build season.
Now, Linux- and OS/x-only support is fine for me, as I use Linux as my main os, but it just leaves me scratching my head as to what FIRST is doing. They can't be expecting ALL teams to use something other than windows, can they?
