Re: Can we use the beta revision of the roborio in competition?

As long as the firmware is the same, i would imagine they would work the same.
Is there a difference an inspector could notice?

I'm not suggesting to not tell your inspector but if it looks the same and functions the same then wouldn't effectively be the same as a non-beta controller?
