2015 control system: new radio?

[RonnieS]

With the coming of the 2015 control system, I have heard and seen things about a new com system with what looked to be a USB stick? I was at a distance but it appeared to be a smaller....MUCH smaller radio they are looking into. Anyone else hear of this?

The alpha testers were given a Asus USB WiFi adapter, rated for about 300 Mbps . When Dean was presenting the Founder's Award to Qualcomm however, he hinted at something they were working on that would be a significant change for our radios. Custom FRC radio system perhaps?

I walked out to newton field friday night about 10 minutes before pits closed and there were people on there setting up robot Rios and testing traffic with those asus ones I believe.

My sister saw the same thing. This is all very interesting,

The wireless adapter being used in current demos and public testing might not end up being the system chosen for 2015.
