Re: 2005 FRC vs. 2004 FRC
They were shipped with different Master Code firmware versions, but those can be updated, I don't think there's any other difference. Nothing fundamental enough that the porting of the code should fail anyways, who knows what Doohickey IFI changed on the inside, they do have a different set of power connectors though. In my opinion the built on plastic backup battery connector and the screw terminals were superior to the 2005/2006 controller power connectors...
