In addition, a new black jaguar may or may not be availble, as well as multiple firmware updates for the gray jaguars.

Using CAN this year will not be a trival pursuit - it will take some effort for the team who decides to use it.

That and more info on programming languages for this year can be found on the beta test forums on the official first 2010 website, linked here:
