Perhaps FIRST (and the supplier) intend to cover the cost of warranting control system components for multi-season use in FRC by charging all teams the same entry fees, whether veterans or rookies?
It's moot this year because all teams will be controls system rookies. We all have a season to figure out how this should work.
Since my daughter will have to live with the mess I leave behind on earth, I support re-use of things that can be built to last. The cRio seems to fit that description from what I've seen so far, but much more experience is needed.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
