Re: Texas Instruments acquires Luminary Micro

An additional interest is to see if Luminary Micro will have an effect on the BEST program. BEST just developed their own programmable robot controller which was implemented system wide in the fall of 2008 and was piloted in San Antonio, Texas in the fall of 2007. I believe that it uses the MSP430... which is a TI product. No autonomous yet in BEST,.. programming options limited to the free/open source development environment and no real sensors other than limit switches. Also still limited to a 4 channel RC for the OI.

Cool factor of BEST is to see the McGiver bots made from all wood and plastic
