Its that simple.
Notice that the new controller doesn't have the word 'Edubot' on it.

Actually I think the combat robotiers are a small market compared to the existing RC market. Do you have any idea how much simpler the new edubot controler could make it to sequence landing gear doors to open at the right speed and in the right order? The Scale guys will go ape once they figure it out.

I haven't actually seen one yet, but I assume it's still a little big and bulky for sailplanes yet. Otherwise you will see auto thermalling planes before too long.
