If you dig down to the photos you will see that there are fairly well insulated cases for everything. Electrically, its now a kitbot and FRC will now be a field of LABVIEW demobots.

It remains to be seen whether there will be any viable C/C++ platform possible for 2009. Certainly not if you can't get your hands on anything until kickoff.
