ROS in FIRST ?

I know the Robot Operating System (ROS) topic has been discussed briefly on the forums however the Robotics world is always changing.

Has anyone considered getting the cRio to run ROS client ?

After seeing Lego NXT achieve the ROS hurdle, FRC is definitely a possibility.

If FRC can make the jump, ROS will provide robots with
  • Multi-robot autonomous routines
  • Enhanced data logging
  • sophisticated path planning and obstacle avoidance

Reply to this thread or PM if your interested in starting a software push for ROS on FRC.
