Based on today's FTC announcement, one would wonder if we couldn't do the same with the new FTC controller? I haven't heard much on that front... but if they use the same programming toolchain, it could happen.

The two architectures are completely different. It appears the only commonality would be through labview.
You can get started with the new FRC control system stuff now. The following are current prices:
cRIO 9074 - $2999
Power Supply & Cables $249
9201, 9403, and 9472 Modules and Cables $1219
Subtotal Total Hardware $4467
Software:
Labview for Windows $4099
Labview Real-Time Module $2499
Labview FPGA Module $2499
Subtotal Software $9097
Total $13,564
The above doesn't include the custom undocumented digital sidecar so the above would only get you started on the tool chain and sensor platforms.
If you look at where you have come from you can often tell where you are going. - Turtlecoach [more]
