The software complains about not being able to find the control box quite often if it's not there(a good feature to remind you to put the box into auto, believe me), but those error boxes are easy enough to comment out, if you know a little about Visual Basic. You can do the enable/disable switching manually, with a little wiring work, but then keep in mind that you have to use the channel jumper on the competition port, and set the channel with the DIP switches. I know FIRST rented out a set of field controls last year, and my guess is they're going to do so again...I don't know on that for sure though...
