FRC Tech Roadmap?

Down in atlanta today, Bill Miller was supposedly giving information on the technology roadmap for FRC at the 3:30pm FRC LIVE presentation. Does anybody have the information on what was shared at this presentation?

Re: FRC Tech Roadmap?

Bill had a large print of their roadmap but only flashed it at us to show that they indeed had one.

He wouldn't go into any detail citing the necessity to keep it proprietary. They want to avoid suppliers and others from second guessing FIRST or adding complexity to the development and rollout process by developing conflicting copyrights that FIRST would then have to negotiate rights for.

We'll produced some notes describing his and Kate's talk when we have time.
Don video taped most of it and I imagine he'll post that.

P.S. I do have a low-res shot of it. Unfortunately, I was shooting in movie mode.

When Mark said "when we have time", he probably didn't mean "while we're still running around during the Championship and the FIRST Finale party and the after-Finale 'Executive Session' and sleeping and traveling back home."

Mumbles about how FIRST should use open source technology which would avoid some of those problems... (Yeah, not all but it would at least avoid copyright issues)

Anyway, thanks in advance Mark, I am very curious about this.
