The new robot controllers appear to process inputs about 3,000 times faster than the old controllers, and the 10-bit analog inputs will be nice, with 1,024 voltage measurement steps instead of only 256. All this will probably eliminate a lot of need for external processors.

Also interesting to see that there will be a battery backup for the big robot controller. No more lost signals due to low main batteries, or high current drains. That's a big plus!

I can't wait to see how well the new controllers actually perform.
