I'm just going to guess that the NI system is
sooooooo expensive that they just can't afford to sponsor so many systems each year.
Theyere going to do 1700 the first year, and then only about 200-300 every year after that, which is I guess much more reasonable...
In which case I wish the switch wasn't made in the first place.
(ofcourse there were a 10^(10^10) other considerations.. blah blah blah...

)
how many teams were really getting limited by the old controller?
I am going to guess around 10, if any at all.
Any way, there is the chance the the NI controller is 90% depleted uranium (which
would explain the weight....) and so the enviormental issue
is real
FIRST, Please don't hurt the teams from economic motives, or for the sake of looking foolish for going back to IFI... Thanks!
