Re: IFI Control System (OI/RC) - The Future???
IFI is working on a new controller. They admitted as much when I inquired on future availability for a team just starting up and needing something to work with before the build season in 2007. A new model may be available as early as late in the Fall.
This of course does not mean the FIRST must use the new controller, only that there will be a model from IFI.
My speculation is that if they were doing radical changes, it would not be announced until Kickoff if it impacts the competition.
In case IFI is reading this forum for ideas to ensure ensure acceptance of their new design my top picks are:
1) Smaller footprint for the RC
2) More secure connectors than those on PWM cables
3) USB support on the OI
4) Support for Saitek or similarly adjustable (left or right handed) controllers
