When FTC did this before, teams had, for lack of a better description, an individual FCS that functioned like the centralized system. Teams were still required to use the templates and the individual FCS would send disable commands after 30 seconds, start teleop in disabled mode and only allow 120 seconds of active play. Teams could abort but not extend play. It worked well.

This won't happen but I see no reason (other than a team disadvantage) that FIRST couldn't dust off the old software and allow teams to continue with their NXT's.
