I hate to pull information from another post into this one, but I think this is a perfect time to point out exactly why we want more transparency from FIRST.

This is a huge chunk of money, and I personally believe it's absolutely silly to be in the position of worrying that you might not be able to build a second robot.

It would NOT be that hard for FIRST to put out this rule far in advance of the new season, or to at least specifically warn the teams not to purchase a second C-Rio (for whatever reason).
