Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Future of FRC - Sneak Peek
I really wouldn't mind change, as long as the new interface is highly customizable. Lots of inputs and outputs, of all kinds, and lots of onboard features. Language doesn't bother me too much.
In my mind, the current RC seems quite outdated. It looks the same as it did in 2001. Wireless, deployable sensor capabilities (bluetooth), direct support for Serial and USB devices, and higher bandwidth inputs and outputs are all things that are here and now, and would be a great teaching utility, not to mention it'd open lots of opportunities. Having the bandwidth of 802.xx and allowing for video feeds, off-board processing, real-time 3D modeling, etc, would be AWESOME, and really would not cost that much. If the price of the KOP had to go up $500 or $1000 for a super-advanced control system, I think it would be well worth the cost.

This is just one example of why you MUST NOT make engineering decisions based on assumptions. You should check/measure your parts and make appropriate design adjustments. - Stu Bloom [more]
