Re: [FTC]: New Android Control System

I've been looking for information about FTC android system that was scheduled to be unveiled at the St. Louis Worlds this weekend. I've only found this link for training curriculum coming in June:

http://www.intelitek.com/first-tech-challenge/

Anyone seen anything else?

Here's what the Intelitek PDF says:

About the on-line learning portal
Our twenty hour program for new and existing FIRST teams is an easily accessible on-line learning environment that will engage you in hardware and programming changes including getting started, App Inventor and Intro to Java.

Hardware and Getting Started Available June 5th
App Inventor and Intro to Java Available September 1st

Hardware and Control System Components
* Robot controller – ZTE speed Android
* Driver station – ZTE speed Android
* Power module
* Legacy module
* DC motor module
* USB communication
* 12 VDC power input
* Connecting DC motors

* Retrofitting a MATRIX bot
* Servo controller module

So... this doesn't say much except to confirm that the ZTE Speed android phone will be the FTC standard next year. Not anything new here. Oh well...
