Re: Purchasing the 2009 controller
Quote:
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.

I think that is a pretty clear answer. We will only get one and that's it and the question right above it states we will only be able to purchase one additional controller each year at the reduced (read comparable to this years) price. A while ago we had to return the control system to FIRST at the end of the year so this isn't as bad as it used to be.
