From what I understand, the problem isn't the hardware, but the firmware on the device allowing the user to change the frequency outside of FCC regulation. For FRC to specifically request OpenMesh build an integrated and mandatory power backup would be complicated and costly. (imho)
The main problem, for me at least, is that the radio takes
90 seconds to boot... If they're working together on a custom FRC firmware why not make one that just boots faster and disabled unneeded features?
EDIT: Approximately 90 seconds, numbers were based on a match I watched and wasn't exactly counting with a timer. Take with a grain of salt.
