This is true, but you can have 20 different PWM outputs. No team will need 20 different outputs, so number of outputs isn't really an issue.
Having lots of speed controllers is nice. Last year, we had 4 on drive, 1 shooter, one for climber deployment, and three for the climber for a total of eight.
