Nearly Officially Official: cRIO Control System To Be Reused
I didn't see a thread on the matter, so I figured this was worth starting one.
A quote from Bill Miller, FRC Director, on his blog:
Quote:

FRC has decided to make parts of the New Control System reusable. That's right. If all goes well, teams will be able to reuse the cRIO, the modules, the bumpers, the digital side car, the power distribution board, the drivers station and a number of other items. We hope to keep costs down and reduce the impact manufacturing, shipping and scrapping these items has on our environment. With more than 1700 teams expected to participate this year, we can make a big difference with this small change in policy.

Interesting questions are raised in the comments of the aforementioned post; only time will tell how they are answered.
