I think we are starting to get a consensus here.

* We all want our students to learn how things really work.
* We all see students become somewhat intimidated sometimes by C at first.
* We all have seen students overcome their fear of C
* We know LabView is a great way to teach control system basics but
can mask the background info that leads to true product design
in the embedded world if that is our cause
* We are all very nervous about how much these systems will cost
* We see the split in minimally backed teams and the teams that
may have these already on order from NI.
*Also considering we are adding more parts to the system, the analog
adaptor plugin and the expansion board and the power inverter the
robot now has potentially more things to trouble shoot to keep the
robot running.

Let's all make solid proposals of how we can solve these problems of
implementation.
