I'm sure if a team really needed an RC or OI IFI would have one.

Actually, I think the IFI systems are used outside of the FIRST community by those other destructive robot competitions like Battlebots. The IFI control systems seem to be discontinued all together according to Robot Marketplace:

It just makes me wonder what is going on with IFI and what this means for 2007.
