I'm not a software guy, but to say IF they move away from a PIC based system, does that mean moving away from Microchip products? If that's the case, I find this hard to believe with Steve Sanghi, President and CEO of Microchip, so integrally involved with FIRST, on the Board of FIRST, supplier, sponsor, etc...
