However, it looks like it isn't quite available yet...

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out there. Planning to order a bunch once they go on sale since I don't have any expectation of how quickly they'll sell out (hopefully not too bad in case we need replacements).

We're taking this opportunity to move entirely to Victors from Jaguars in 2013...we're keeping our Jags around to power old robots for practicing and demos.

I'm curious, what motivated you to use Victors over Talons?

We were motivated by low cost (Victors being the cheapest of the three options, adds up when you buy 10-12) and the proven track record they have. Plus the output on the 888 is linear so that's not a benefit exclusive to the Talons. The Talons do look good though, and since we haven't purchased any Victors yet, we may still change our minds.

VEXPro just went live, if you didn't catch the rest of the storm that took over Facebook and ChiefDelphi...

The video they made is awesome. Will show this to mentors and probably place orders!

Definitely took a few cues from Apple's videos :)
