I must say their answer is kind of weird since they didn't answer their own question.
I actually understood the opposite from the NI reps who said teams would be getting a new one each year so they could continue using their old robots.

Actually the rep I spoke to personally told me that the inserts would change from year to year but you only get the base once.

I would like to know how "heavily reduced" the price of the system will be for the offer to sell a "second controller" to a team each year? Does that imply we would get a new controller each year?

Or- to put it bluntly- does anyone actually know the facts here?
