Our team practically depends on old robots for all of our PR. We try to get at least one to every demonstration. Not getting a new RC every year is going to hinder that.

I can understand that the new system may be too expensive to provide a new one every year; but I cannot understand why FIRST would have gone with such a pricey system to begin with. Sure, the OI/RC setup needed a little dust-off, but this is overkill. I don't think any FIRST team is near the level that requires this much power.

So far I am not enthusiastic about this new system, however, I will hold final judgment until I can get my hands on the final version.
