I think the "controversy" here is if this is illegal based on some contract between a team and NI when purchasing a cRIO at discount (Our team has not done this so I don't know what if any paperwork is involved). A similar question would be whether it is taking advantage of NI's generosity even if it is legal.

Chris,

They are not both using a controller credit. The way I read it is that Bluateam already used their 2009 credit and is somehow purchasing an additional controller using Redateam's 2009 credit and giving it to Redateam. Redateam then purchases a controller using their 2010 credit and gives it to Bluateam.

The end result is that Redateam's 2009 credit is used to get Bluateam a $750 cRIO where it would have gone unused otherwise.
