Like Cory, I am not sure where these numbers are coming from - either the high or low numbers. They are inconsistent with all the other values I have seen or heard reported. Can you cite a documented source?

Since nobody else stepped up to answer that question or query yet, here is a link to a post of mine with a link to a price on NI's website which is a little more realistic than 8-10k or 1k the original poster Dave quoted had written that above response to.

As far as a discount for FIRST teams, I'm sorry, but I don't see anything official (re: on paper, or announced in an official FIRST newsletter) about that yet, so basically, that means as far as I'm concerned, it's not happening.
(Yet, if ever... - but one can always hope.)



Oh, btw Dave, where can I get my hands on a Gigapan camera? (I'm only half kidding. lol)
