I know that the new PIC processors came out at IFI, I think that it's just an OI upgrade with a USB system.
To be honest, how do you know that a large amount of the first community uses linux? I know for a fact, only one person on our team uses linux, and he only uses it on the rare occasion that he cannot accomplish something easily in windows. Even with all of the help from kevin and the good folks at intelitek, at the midwest regional, there were only two teams that attempted to score during autonomous, and only one managed to score, and even then, we only scored five times out of the whole competition. If things change too much, teams will be left in the dust.
Just my $.02
