This is a change from last year, isn't it?
It also raises the question of whether or not a dashboard would have to be packed with the controls. Dashboards tend to be laptops, and laptops tend to be expensive and constantly needed.

Even as is, I would be pretty worried about packing up two USB Chicklets. Those things aren't cheap, and if anything happened to them it would be nigh impossible to get replacements at the competition.
