I'd love to see something like this implemented for teams. At the same time though, providing teams with a new dashboard capable of mimicing something like StangPS but for a kitbot frame with 4 encoders would be a HUGE step forward for enabling teams to compete in autonomous.

That brings up an interesting point. How many projects of the size and scope of that one are going to be affected by the RC change? I know mine will be affected somewhat, but can you imagine if someone got a perfect autonomous system (or AI...) completed that only ran off of the RC, and then the hardware (and possibly the programming language) changed underneath them? 
I'd be steamed!

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
