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.

There is quite the difference in seeing a presentation on how a control system is nominally used and actually getting your hands on the hardware. You learn more about the small idiosyncrasies than would be demonstrated in an hour long presentation. A very specific example is being able to use an odd number of bits per word in SPI (as documented here:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=133046) If we were able to get a hold of the beta system, we would have been able to figure it out before the season even started instead of getting an answer more than halfway through the season. I find it difficult to believe that this wasn't seen by any of the beta testing teams (and should have been shared).
