FTC has abandoned Lego/Hitechnic/RobotC in favor a brand new platform
in the form of ModernRobotics/Android/Java.

One of the nice things about the Hitechnic controllers was if you googled
you could find datasheets.

ModernRobotics is not going to be releasing datasheets that will
allow people to program the controllers. Unfortunate in an era where
STEM education is gaining increasing importance to see organizations
like FIRST embracing closed systems.
One of the great things about the NXT brick was it was completely
open. Lego provided schematics and datasheets that told you all
you needed to know to do pretty much anything with it. Funny how
Lego seems to be doing quite well and nobody stole their intellectual
property and produced counterfeit NXT's. (ModernRobotics excuse).
