    Mach4 or Quantum?

    I was reading at the Artsoft website that a new version is coming. Do someone know the release date?
    And what is Mach 4 and what is Quantum?

    Quantum is a version of Mach2 I think that uses an S-curve trajectory planner. You can find a similar Mach3 version called Tempest on the Machsupport forum, but it has limited functionality.

    Mach4 is not yet ready for beta testing, and this is no release date right now. A new trajectory planner for Mach4 similar to Quantum's and Tempest's will hoefully arrive a year or so after Mach4 is released.
