Another bit of information ... the PIC microcontroller and runtime environment used in FIRST hasn't changed much in the past several years (since 2004? well, a couple of years ago they changed the PIC part to a different one with more memory, and last year they changed the radio, but both run the same code at the same 10 MHz speed). The rule seems to be "incremental changes" and "don't mess with success - it only causes problems".

So assuming they don't change in years to come, information gleaned is not totally wasted. But since when does technology stand still?
