[FTC]: Next year platform?

[PhilBot]

Considering this in hindsight... it seems like an obvious platform choice...

Anyone else see that there is likely a strong Google connection in here somewhere?

1) Google has shown that they see robotics as their future.
2) FIRST is the biggest youth robotics training ground.
3) Android is a Google mainstay.
4) Google Nexus devices use Snapdragon
4) Google has always been a strong FIRST supporter.

I wonder if Google and NI are now competing for our kid's brains. Yay !!!!

Not sure about the "Modern Robotics " connection. Must be a startup, or dark horse that will become clearer later.

This change is wonderful, in a scary sort of way.
Can't wait to see the HW at Worlds.

OK.. Update.

I see that "Modern Robotics Inc." Has the same zip code as "Dataport Systems", the parent company of HiTechnic
