Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
If anyone really wants to complain about not being able to test these suckers out, I would consider the fact that the base model of the new system goes for at least 3 grand ($2100 with a discount if you buy a quantity of 100 course.).

For FIRST to even consider trusting teams ahead of time with some of these, let alone a quantity of 15 for "pre-release" for the 2009 season... is awesome.

But if you still want to complain a team will have an unfair advantage over you, go ahead & buy one.
Oh, btw, that 3 grand price tag doesn't include modules or additional components as shown on the demo bots in Atlanta, & other places such as IRI.
