Re: NEW 2009 Control System Released

My only concern is readiness and ability to meet the deadlines of FIRST. From talking with the NI reps at the pits, they are not very far along and many of their answers were: "it's in the works," "its being prototyped," or "we aren't sure yet.". They said they only got the prototypes they showed today about a month ago. Also they said the controller should have a final weigth of about 2.2 lbs. In terms of IFI, it seems like they will slowly phase them out, whether or not that is FIRST's intention. The rep I spoke to said they are looking into developing their own speed controller to compete with the Victor 884 from IFI. I could see the being a big blow to IFI and their connection to FRC. The only other thing they would have at that point is stuff like sprokets and traction wheels. I guess we will have to wait and see how things go.
