Not much real debugging seemed to happen, just a "this is how you use the system and here's what it can do". There didn't seem to be much sharing on the little differences that have to be done between the RoboRio and cRio. I'm not a programming guy, so I can't really point any one thing out at the moment.
Can I ask how you'd like to see it improved? We were part of the beta and if there is something specific you'd like to see then I can try to take the idea forward with the folks we still have contact with. They asked for feedback on how to improve the beta program and we're trying to give them some.

I thought that the different beta teams, there were about 100 of them, did a good job of covering the different aspects of the beta testing in the dozen or so presentations that I saw. Let me know, would love to pass the feedback forward.
