Except they are called practice fields for a reason.
  • The quality of these fields is not garunteed.
  • They probably don't have the tech intended for the game. People would have to come in and retro fit them with the field controlers, sensors, mechanisms, etc. This could be more costly than just shipping one in (and they would have to do it on about 15 fields)
  • FIRST still needs 5 fields for the championship.

(or maybe it costs $500 but they need more money to pay for overhead?)
That could very well be. I've heard rumors that FIRST may change the control system again, but common sense says that they just got this one and want to get some years out of it. So maybe they are adding something big. Could be the enhancement already came.

Did the developement of the C control system cost more than they thought? Would explain why it was so early.
