Throwing all of that out the window makes zero sense to me from a technical point of view (some of my longstanding criticisms of the IFI system notwithstanding).
Hopefully they pull it off. But it's a tall order.

How do you know, or not know, that FIRST hasn't considered any of these possibilities. I am sure they are more than aware at what can happen with a new control system. Maybe FIRST feels like its time to get more advanced...
