Well, the eduRobot uses and Isaac16, which is basically just a toned-down (read: cheaper) version of our current system. The only difference is that you only get half of each type of input or output (8 PWMS, 4 analog ins, etc). Sanddrag brings up an interesting point, though. I wonder if it will be the same system with support for teams >1000 or if it will be completely different...

Anyway, speaking of control systems, I'll put in yet another shameless plug for my new emulator that should let teams learn how to program without the need of an expensive OI/RC. Check it out at http://FIRSTprograms.tripod.com/Programs.htm and let me know what you think via PM, e-mail, the programming forum, or any other way you feel like.
