Also I highly doubt FIRST will give us this new control system without some technical documents to help us out. In the past almost anything you could ever want to know about the current control system has been published and in time it will be the same in time, just you watch.

Hahah that'd be awesome.
Heres a box with some wires.
Build a robot. go.
we'd figure it out eventually.

If IFI is really leaving (i hope not),

What will happen with the Kit Frame?

and its hard enough going through that mess with operating systems,

Unless you're using Win9x or the USB Chic(k)let, the USB HID standard should cover everything mouse/keyboard/joystick over USB. Incredibly cheap COTS items, custom circuits, or complex COTS items not implemented well might be exceptional, but everything else should be straight up USB HID (I'm thinking of a lot of Logitech devices when I say that).

Yep, no IFI but they have said that the programing will continue to be C or C++.

When did they say that?

I honestly don't know, all I know is that my brother and father (who are the main programers of PantherTech) were discussing it at dinner just last night and talking about how FIRST had said it was going to still be C or C++. I figure they know what they're talking about...
