The functionality is exactly the same (you can be OFF, FWD, REV, or BOTH). But now you get two relays in roughly the same footprint as one Spike. When our package arrives, I will weigh both the new cRIO and new relay module and post the results.
I won't speculate as to what this means as far as what will be legal for next season. Those decisions are made at a "higher pay grade" than beta test teams.
I will say that if there is going to be a change in what legacy hardware will be legal for 2012, I would hope that FIRST would have the wherewithall and courtesy to let teams know far, far in advance.
