This last point does need some consistent reminding even for me, more so since I am a veteran mentor since 2001. FIRST has given us options like we've not had before. Tone down the dooms day mentality a bit. There was a day when all we could use was PBasic and items found in the Small Parts Catalog. These are not bad products or vendors at all but when one now looks at the options we have:
Labview, C, Java
PWM, CAN "maybe"
AndyMark.biz, IFI Robotics, BaneBots, FRC Teams operating as LLC ...
Be cautiously prudent or dare to experiment with contingency plans
