Re: Purchasing the 2009 controller

That's EXACTLY my point! This year, and each year for the past 8 or 9 years, we have received an COMPLETE, NEW control system as part of our registration fee. Starting next year, it appears that we will NOT receive a complete, new control system each year, but likely will still be paying the same registration fee. FIRST claims, in their FAQ, that they are not raising the cost of the registration fee. I claim that they are, indirectly, by requiring me to purchase a very expensive additional piece of equipment that was previously included in the registration cost.
