Re: Texas Instruments acquires Luminary Micro
It will be interesting to see if the T.I. acquisition has any significant impacts on the Luminary Micro role in FIRST. Texas Instruments was responsible for the founding and creation of the BEST Robotics competition program. They did so after seeing the FIRST program, and deciding that they did not want to follow the FIRST model (although they do cite Woodie Flowers robot competition class at M.I.T. as one of their inspirations). T.I. is still a big supporter of BEST, and it would be reasonable to think that they might consider having Luminary Micro's support expand to include BEST as well. But will they be able to do both?
