I don't know if FIRST has actually told us if the firmwares are different. I would hope they would be the same, in the interest of letting us test at home in as close to a competition manor as possible. The real difference is in the security settings, which within a given firmware could easily be turned on or off to allow secure connection to the field or unsecured connection at home. That's how it worked on the old radios.
