 My contention is that there is not a whit of difference between noting that a change like that has to be made, and making the change. - Kris Verdeyen [more] |

Re: New Robot Control System!
Sounds like this is not being done by IFI... anyone know who the new control system vendor is? I hope they're able to continue the same quality and reliability standards that IFI has created.
I also hope that FIRST is seeking out input from mentors in the program on the issues that would arise with this. Hopefully they're talking to software and electrical people about this. Finally, it would be great if they picked a processor with a free toolchain (GCC would make the most sense). AVR or ARM would be a good choice for this. It would open the doors to Mac/Linux development. Unfortunately I think they have a strong relationship with Microchip so we'll probably continue to see more PICs in there...
