I highly doubt there will be a breadboard on the new control system, at least not in the way most of us vision one. There's a reason they are used on the lab bench and not in production. I can see modular motor control and misc I/O lines, running on some modern bus.
Also I would be very surprised if you could program the robot in Python, Java, or Basic. If there was an OS with interpreters and a control API, then MAYBE this is a possibility, but I highly doubt it. That is very scary from a support/infrastructure point of view. I would expect to see some kind of visual programming language (something similar to easyC, Labview, Simulink, etc..) after the success of easyC in FRC and FTC.
