Ok, a few of my opinions and Knowledge here...
First off, IFI was created for First. So, If (For some odd reason) they do change what we're using, it'll probably be from a recommendation coming from FIRST, and you know how FIRST is with change.
Ok, I can understand the need for more EEPROM space, but I still see absolutely no need to get a faster processor. You're not running an extremely high-demand system, and the processor usually never has speed issues.
Also, I don't see why FIRST would shift to a processor with a different language. It seems IFI is going to keep their partnership with Parallax as long as they can, and looking at the Processor lineup, The Javelin is the only other processor I've found with a non-basic like language. And I don't want to have to learn Java, let alone be programming a Robot with it (makes slight frown)...(smirks)...(bursts out laughing)
um...excuse me...
Plus, PBasic is just so simple, it doesn't make sense to shift to a one-sided language like C that plenty of people would have to spend a lot of time learning, more so than pbasic.
If there are any changes to the IFI system, I could foresee IFI installing some sort of memory expansion, but that's about it.
As for the 10 Processors in the IFI system,
If you didn't already know, there are 3 Basic Stamps in the RC, 1 PIC (I think?) in each transceiver, and a few more in the OI.
Anyway, that's just a few of my thoughts...
