Re: 2010 Control System Getting Started

First off, I truely believe that the beta testers are teying their best to help the FIRST community, and I don't doubt that they do a lot more than what we see. My hat is off to those who have worked so hard to get the teams a excellent set of hardware and software.

but ...

and I guess this was the point of my OP ... It is difficult to deny that having the software/hardware to use/work with/play with doesn't give you a familiarity with it that teams that do not have the new wiz-bang stuff don't have.

And, as far as open source, I was talking about the libraries. Seems to me we could create far more, and debug them far faster as a community. I also believe that this would be an excellent learning oppertunity for those who take part.



P.S. Alan -- I apologize. You were silent on opening up the beta process. It was not my intention to create a strawman argument.
