Since the robot controller will need to be shipped with the robot (at least I assume it will) will you buy an additional controller for your second bot?
As was mentioned before, last year we were allowed to keep the controller when we shipped the robot. This was done so all teams couls at least continue working on the autonomy programs on the edubot. If the rules are the same this year (we hope), then it will not be an issue.
