I don't care who designed it, or who makes it, NO ONE makes anything perfect the first time, or for that matter everytime.
Lets disprove a new saying overherd at the VIP reception in Atlanta:
"FIRST - Technolgy building egos"
The process just started, give them a chance!

Gary F, the issue is that FIRST does not give us good products to start with. Such a major change is questionable. What is more questionable is what is not said. FIRST did not say tha "FIRST and ***** are designing a new controller" They did say that they are building a new controller, quote "We are pleased to announce we have begun development on a new Robot Control System". No other people mentioned. FIRST has told us many times that they are short staffed and how stretched they are. I question their ability to do justice to a new controller in such a short time frame. We do not need any more fiascoes!
I find it surprising that IFI did not make the announcement if they were the ones working on it. IFI has been the strongest point with FIRST suppliers. No one else has stepped up and made things run as well as IFI. I would hate to see them go.
One question that I do have, why are you quickly jumping on us for discussing? Are you involved with the new product?
