Reread Cory's post, he was not passing off anything as fact.

If all goes well, teams will be able to reuse the cRIO, the modules, the bumpers, the digital side car, the power distribution board, the drivers station and a number of other items.
If all goes well? This is clearly PR BS. How could they even possibly make a system that isn't reusable? And as far as I remember, the IFI system was always "reusable", it'd be almost impossible for it to not be.

The sugarcoating and PR BS really ruin Bill's place for me. At first, I had hopes it would be a place where FIRST might actually communicate to teams without BS, and maybe possibly listen. This is clearly not the case, it's just a new face.

If someone offered me a brand new Porsche at the expense of amputating my legs, I'd decline.
