I disagree. True, this may evolve the arena, but most of that would be restricted to Autonomous mode features.

Also, I am developing everything under the GPL, from the code required to support the protocol to the ways Team 245 is applying the coprocessor setup to our gameplay. I'd like to see innovation in programming at FIRST, for all teams to take it to the next level. This is just another way to help see that happen.
