Re: New Speed Controller Announced

I'll try to get some tomorrow.

It is slightly larger than the victor. The demo unit they used at Nationals had an NI protype of the device.

Compared to the cRIO the jaguar is only slightly different. They mentioned many times during their presentation that the new larger size was part of the game challenge.

Also interesting, everything here is Solidworks. they've given many impressive demos of labview directly interacting with Solidworks models. I'm not sure how this will play out in the future, since Autodesk is such a major FIRST supplier.
