Not intending to derail the topic, but I guess it is somewhat related.
This is mainly to Greg: Is the possibility of including the FPGA module of LabVIEW in the FRC edition being considered? Even if FPGA code mods aren't allowed by FRC rules (similar to how the grey jags were made with CAN capabilities that weren't allowed in 09), it still would be put to use by teams doing off-season stuff with the cRIO that require FPGA changes (using different modules comes to mind). Even if it isn't FRC legal, the learning and experimenting with it (something I love to do) is great for the programmers (and great marketing too
). And on the safety problem, what about just giving us the regular code with the safety things stripped out of it?
