This will allow you to continue to work on your programming. If you decide not to ship controls with your robot, please remember to bring your controls to your initial competition. FIRST does not have replacement controls."

Are you supposed to have an extra RC, though? You need that for programming work. The rule will, at least, give teams time to tinker with control board design.

Could this mean an interesting kind of programming and control challenge this year? Hmm…

I believe they said the same thing last year. remember, the brain box as I call it still needs 12 volt to operate so this might not mean that much.
