Goodbye IFI?

Has anyone considered that FIRST may be moving to Parallax. If anyone remembers, the 2003 and older controllers used BASIC Stamp (I know until 2000, before that I'm not sure) which had a Parallax programmer. I just went to the Parallax website and found that they now have Transceivers that have the ability to control our robots. And recently they developed a new processor called the Propeller. It basically has 8 CPUs inside of it allowing it to multi task. I'm not sure of the programming language, but Parallax seems to have the right stuff for our robots. I will keep this in mine for the 2009 season, unfortunately I won't be in high school after 2008. This is just an idea, so I'm not saying that this is happening by anything I said, but it is a possibility.
