[FTC]: LEGO Mindstorms EV3

[dcribbs]

The official FTC blog just posted about LEGO's new Mindstorms brick EV3.

The post confirms that the first season for the EV3 will be the 2014-2015 season.

With the EV3 brick having Wi-Fi capability, I wonder if the Samantha module would still be required or optional?

The Samantha module was a big upgrade from the early years of Bluetooth, but if the Wi-Fi enabled EV3 brick offered more consistent and robust communication with the FCS, I would upgrade all of our FTC teams immediately.
