I'm curious to know if they are considering not giving us a new controller each year? It's a nice luxury...

I'll answer my own question:

Q Will I get a new controller in each year’s kit?
A Because of the ruggedness of CompactRIO, teams will be able to reuse their controller in competition years beyond 2009. However FIRST may decide to introduce new cRIO modules to the system specific to a future year game design.

Not that I think it's a huge deal, but it was very nice accumulating more than a few sets of controls over the years at no extra charge. Prototyping and practice robots became much easier to do.
