What do you wish you knew about the new control system?

[Joe Ross]

I'm working on a presentation to give at tommorow's remote kickoff in Rochester. It is about the control system. I was asked to do this on short notice (about 3 hours ago). The problem is that since I have not been involved with a team this year, my knowledge of the new control system only consists of what I have read in these forums.

I can obviously talk about the relays, radios, speed controllers, joysticks and competition port which will be helpful to the rookie teams attending, but are virtually the same as last years.

So, I'd like to talk about all the new features, but I have very little knowledge in them. I am of course reading the documentation, but I would appreciate it if people would point out what they feel are the most important new parts of the new control system. I'd also like to know, from those of you who have used the EDUbot, what gave you the most difficulty and wish you had known.

Programming is out of the scope of this workshop, as it is being covered in a different workshop.

Thanks for your help.

By the way, if Ken Wittleif or anyone else familier with the control system wants to come and help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. PM me. Thanks
