Re: Re: The New RC

Cool. By "renovating", do you mean that they are massively overhauling the RC unit, making minor changes to the current one, or replacing the RC completely?

The control system is vaguely (not too many really technical details) documented by IFI in the various documents on their website ( www.innovationfirst.com/firstrobotics/ ). So far as I can remember from various sources (if you ask, I can probably dig them up), the BS2sx is just a dumb interface to two PIC chips that handle signal processing, PWM, sensor inputs, etc.

At the FIRST Team Forums, they said that IFI was renovating the entire control system. The meaning of this is up to interpretation, and I doubt that every single FIRST rep said the exact same thing, but I tend to agree with you. I find it highly unlikely that we'd find anything other than C (it's very common in the uC world, it's well-known (most engineers could work their way around the syntax, probably, anyway), and it's nowhere near as convoluted as ASM can be (not that I don't like ASM, mind you).

Anyway, I've probably said too much, not to mention the fact that I've probably said it all before...
