It is VITAL that XK-1 users use this release or above as the XK1 is not supported in previous versions.

 As for anyone else - you will probably appreciate some of the cool new features:

FYI:

Our XC1 dev kits currently require a USB connection to function. This is being worked on for the future, but for now here is a link on how to hack your XC1 dev kit so that it does not need to be constantly connected to USB (Handy if your robot needs to move about):
