Here is what is on FIRST's Website.

Talks about stuff like:
(I don't like the first one here...)
Quote:
How will matches be controlled without a central control system?
Teams will be required to start and stop based on the central play clock as instructed by the referee. This “sports start” format is common to most sports and was used in the 2009/2010 season by FTC. Templates can be created in the software for autonomous and tele-operated modes and assigned specific times in accordance with the annual game. If robots score points or gain advantage outside of the match time referees will correct for this by disallowing points or possibly assigning penalties.
What does my team need to do to convert my existing robot over to the new platform?
Register with FIRST Tech Challenge for the 2015/2016 season and order (2) Android devices, the Legacy Multiplexor and Power Block. The Legacy Multiplexor allows current LEGO® NXT sensors and DC and Servo Motor Controllers to work in the new system. The Power Block is a terminal block allowing for easier power distribution. This is all you need to convert your existing robot. You can continue to use all your existing sensors, motors, battery and motor controller. You will no longer need your Samantha module or LEGO NXT.
Why are there additional new parts (beyond Android devices, Legacy Multiplexor and Power Block) offered as part of the new platform?
Android wired communication is via USB. New teams, and veterans who wish to upgrade, can purchase USB Motor Controllers (DC and Servo) and an Advanced Sensor Module which will accept standard, off the shelf, sensors.
