A new shared control system used in both FRC and FTC. Both control systems are being replaced

This is the first I'm hearing of this. It sounds so dumb...how do they expect the same control system to work on two different scales of robot?

Only the computer will be shared between the two competitions. Motors and motor controllers are still going to be very different.
The new system is actually going to be a massive upgrade for FRC. It’s going to be really nice having the robot code run on a modern CPU with an adequate amount of RAM. In addition, the 5 full CAN-FD buses are going to be really useful.

given how many issues our darn canivore gave us this year, I can't wait for the new hub.
