While it was highly unlikely that both would be illegal, based on timing with the different controllers I completely could have seen FIRST go with just one for the season. At no point in all the beta testing we participated in did i see anything that would make me think FIRST wasn't looking out for the best interests of all the teams with this decision.
Frankly, beta testing the controllers was a little boring... We didn't have any issues with them!
