I believe that, with this system, those that need the experiance the most (rookies) will be given the least amount of help.
Lets face it, the veteran teams that they want are the teams with already established software teams and this will give them a head start as to the nuances of the controller.
Don't get me wrong, I understand why they are asking for beta testers. I just wish that they wouldn't favor the teams that already have enough advantages.
As usual, this is JMHO.

I couldn't disagree more. These strong veteran teams will be developing code we can all use. Rookies most of all will benefit from the work of these teams.
These team will be laying the ground work for teams without the programming knowledge and ability. They will make it possible for other teams to build competitive robots.
