I don't blame IFI for making the decision to use a standard R/C system to control the EduBot. Up until now, IFI's control systems have been practically limited to the "robotic combat" genre of hobbyism. Now that they've decided to use a standard communication system, they've opened up their target audience for their control systems. R/C enthusiasts now have a good reason to be interested in IFI, if only for the EduBot controller.
I do like the idea of allowing a hobby R/C to control it... but it should be able to use EITHER the hobby R/C or the operator interface... because then you could use the hobby R/C more generically, yet for FIRST participants... we could test our code and develop it. I feel they should have both in iti f they want to add the hobby R/C.
