Nope, something old. I think you're thinking of the IFI system. Let's see if I can break this down. - IFI system (to 2008): New control system--controller, radio, operator interface, etc.--every year in the KOP. Opportunity to purchase more (as spares).
- cRIO (2009-2014): New control system for everybody in 2009; new required elements for everybody on introduction. Otherwise, rookies got it free and everybody else could buy it for a discount once a year.
- RoboRIO (2015-????): New control system for everybody in 2015. New radio for everybody in 2016 (this from the blog postings). Opportunity to buy at a discount continues, IIRC; rookies get the system free.
