Important IFI Control System Update
The folks at IFI have just put up an important notice on their website regarding the FRC-RC's firmware and default code that you might want to have a look at.

Re: Important IFI Control System Update
Yeah, i wonder how serious this issue really is, so far we don't seem to be encountering any erroneous behavior in our system, and we have yet to install the update to the rc. Has anyone actually installed the update and noticed a difference in the way the robot acts, or is this just a cosmetic fix that really doesn't do anything major? Oh.....why did it take them this long to realize that there was a problem? Why wait until 2 days before shipping?

from MIT's Cogshop FAQ: "Robotics requires a very robust background (or, alternatively, a person with just about any background can work in robotics). There are elements of computer science, mechanical engineering, cognitive science, and lots of mathematics in the work that we do. There's also a great deal of "hacking" involved. "Hacking" is the art of taking something apart, breaking it, putting it back together with improvements, and then acting like you knew what you were doing all along."
