Re: New Robot Control System!
I have been thinking about this and if FIRST was not going to use the IFI processor, here is what I would do if I were FIRST:
1) Research the different ready-made processors available in the market.
2) Pick out everything that is decent and buy them
3) Vigorously test each processor in conditions that real competition would require
4) Research the company and determine if it is a work-able partnership.
5) Work out details with the partnering company to provide adequate supply and support for all FIRST teams.
There are a lot of other things to figure out such as speed controllers, spikes etc.
So, even though we have all our wishes of the type of processor and its features, I am sure FIRST is researching this in a planned manner and will determine what is best for our applications. We might not get what we expect or like, but hopefully it is what is best for us.

We also have a CNC mill and CNC lathe, but we're interested in doing this only if we can do it quickly. Milling anything takes too long for my MTV-generation attention span. :) - Madison [more]
