It just seems like a downgrade in my opinion. It doesn't feel like FIRST wants to spend the time and create a good field control. FRC has somewhat of a good control system, issues here and there, but I bet that this system will have issues as well. Your always going to have them with technology.

In other news, i'm glad I didn't by another Samantha Module when one of ours quit this year.

My teams will most likely switch to all of the new systems, as we usually keep up with all of the new and improved items that FTC has allowed/shown. Some learning is in order! (bummer that robotc is not being used next year. We have had code that works year after year....)
