Content does not appear to be available online yet, but this issue is at the newsstand now.
In the same issue is a recent shot of The Robot Report's Global 1,000 Robot Makers map, for those interested in such things.

My Bot Thoughts blog (http://www.bot-thoughts.com/) You're right, it's probably something worth sharing, I'll post up on my diydrones blog. Thanks for the kind words :)
Your blog here on DIY, or another one? I see where you posted the write up awhile back, but nothing about it being published in the mag. You may not want to brag on your self, but I think it's worth sharing here. Great article, btw.
Thanks!!! I did announce the article on my blog a few days ago. :)
Boom-
Awesome man!
Did you post a blog entry about this?
@Joshua Ott -- I'm super excited! Mine's the article on Data Bus, "Design Tips for Sparkfun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition" Wrote about building it, some of the issues/solutions, and story of my adventures in 2011 and 2012.
Bot, Is your article in issue 39 of Robot, am I understanding that right?
I've got to check it out, that's sweet.
The same review appeared in the sister publication Heli Pilot, they don't seem to put much content online unfortunately.
The review was written by -- Lucien Miller, owner of http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/
It's interesting to see the price versus functionality of all the different FCs laid out in a table. It's quite a stark difference.
You may also find an article on the 2012 Sparkfun AVC. It's written by some guy that occasionally posts here with a strange yellow school bus avatar... :D
@Joshua,
I subscribe to Robot Magazine and there was an article on the development of Flight Controller Boards on page 52 of issue #38 January/February 2013.
