Interested in an FRC-compatible remote control?

Looks interesting, and a nice alternative to buying a laptop just to run an old/demo bot.

A few questions:

• What is the effective range? Last I checked Bluetooth was fairly short range compared to WiFi (<20-30ft), why did you decide to go this route instead of a 2.5/5GHz type transmitter?
• Is it plug-and-play or does it require anything special in the robot code to work (if so, what languages is it compatible with)?
• In theory, could one plug in a USB hub to get additional ports for more controllers, or is it hard limited to 2 USB devices?
• Is this compatible with older cRio controllers or just the new RoboRios, and if so, how would one adapt a Bluetooth dongle to an older controller?

Thanks!
