The bigger issue I see is the headache at events for FIRST. Right now, there is the same controller/radio setup on every robot. Even with everyone using the same RC setup, teams still botch it in many creative ways. FIRST knows the current setup so they can help debug it when the match was suppost to start 2 minutes ago. If teams were allowed to use any controller, they wouldn't be able to help, and I think the number of teams having comms problems would increase with a decrease in the quality of help available.
