I'm not sure how many bugs veteran teams are going to find in this system anyway. Isn't this just a small version of what NASA used on the mars rovers? (If not then someone correct me) I think NASA and NI would have already found any big problems with this system.
The veteran teams are going to help other teams learn how to use this system, but aren't they still put at an advantage?

This is the same hardware, but the software libraries for both LabVIEW and C++ are totally new, so they will need to be debugged.

According to an NI employee over at the booth by the demo robot at NI Week, they will be shipping 20 systems out to beta teams. Of course, this is not official, this is just what I heard.
