Re: New FTC Platform

...or it could be that I am a regular forum member who didn't want my name on the post

While it hasn't been officially announced, I was told that it could be communicated at this time.

Everything isn't settled yet as they are still looking to get feedback on kits that have been distributed before they settle on the official kit contents. I am particularly interested in the controller. I was told that the system is based on NXT with 10x more memory and around 40% faster than the vex (processor speed?). If it uses an ARM processor like the LEGO NXT it could be quite capable. Their cost target for a kit is $1000 (I don't know what they plan to include and what extras will be available).

The cost of $1000 is going to be a real issue for some programs.
