I definitely like this solution more than the hybrid NXT/Hitechnic Adapter in the new FTC kits, simply based on the fact that this has been engineered as single, more elegant solution that is competitively priced.

And at only $350, it's only a little more than twice as expensive as the current Vex controllers (at the standalone price), but definitely provides a lot of cool features.

And I can definitely see how some of my personal robotics projects (current and planned) would be able to benefit from this, as I've been searching through all my issues of Robot magazine for ads/articles about a good control system in the up to $500 range for a while now. And while I am waiting until more details are released (such as programming languages, which band of Wifi they are using, why there are all those holes in the top sheet metal cover, etc) this is looking like a very attractive control system.
