Traditionally, in the past only rookie teams have received the full control system, unless there was a major change in the system itself.
Veterans have only received one roboRIO and that was the year we started using the roboRIO based control system.
Some individual components, like the PDP or the VRM or the robot radio, have been received by vets after there has been a redesign or new product release, but it's only happened a few times.
No control system hardware changes have been submitted to the Beta teams for testing.
Last year rookies received a yellow tote in their KOP that the veterans did not. Here were the contents of the rookie-only tote:
