if i can do regular math (with none of the crazy MAX/MIN/adding 2000 to each equation) i'll be happy.

if i can store more variables easier, i'll be even happier.

if it runs at a respectable speed, i'll be very happy.

the problem is, if FIRST wants more autonomy, we need better controllers. it looks like it's going that way.

one other interesting point that was brought to my attention today...

We presented our robot at a local fair-type day (main street is closed, vendors set up shop, everyone has a good time). many people, when corrected about the FIRST/BB issue , asked about the controller. When I explained how we were forced to use the IFI one, many people said, "oh, that's dumb, you can't do anything with it." which brings me to my point, that being, with this new controller, will we have more options on the EE/SE side, similar to what the MEs have already?
