With out some hardware details this thread can not lead to any meaningful discussion. First seams to intend to keep the new control system secret. When it is released we can revisit this thread and comment on they should have used Linux, Rtos would have been perfect, why didn't they use xyz system and on and on. Unless First opens up how can we debate the software. There are allot of smart people on this forum that could make meaningful comments on the platform direction. Don't think it's going to happen. Come on FIRST open up a little.
I just kind of figured discussions like these would drive the hardware decision.
