Re: Who is building 2 robots

All right, given that veteran teams have a lot of old control system parts laying around, it might make sense to build a second bot. Unfortunately, the most expensive part of the control system, the robot controller (2003 cost: $449. 2004 cost unnanounced to my knowledge) has changed drastically. Since the robot controller will need to be shipped with the robot (at least I assume it will) will you buy an additional controller for your second bot?
