I wonder if it has a hybrid control option?
Folks,
My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. 
Notice the spiffy-looking car described in this article ( http://machinedesign.com/ContentItem/72274/72274.aspx).
If Tata can build a car for $2500  , I think we should be able to build some pretty impressive FIRST Overdrive machines from the KOP plus $3000 worth of additional parts, plus free donated labor.
The article is interesting. Maybe thinking about it will inspire someone's new/next career (or stock investment). At the least, studying Tata's design process might give us all a lesson in separating the essential from the nice-to-have.

I don't think that FIRST is going to get better with a top down solution alone, it is going to take a grass roots effort to strengthen teams. That starts by teams getting off their "islands", self imposed or otherwise. - Fe_Will [more]
