Section 6.3.4 of the Manual says "FIRST will allow you to keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI Power Supply, Joysticks, etc.) and not ship it with your robot on Tuesday, 2/22/05. This will allow you to continue to work on your programming."

I'm wondering what "etc." refers to? To continue with the programming, we'd really want to keep our Robot Controller, since that's what we actually program. But the RC is a bit different from the items listed, since it's actually part of the robot itself. I've just assumed that it's OK to hold onto the RC, but after re-reading I'm not so sure...
