TALONS MOTOR CONTROLLERS NEED FOR ROOKIE TEAM!
 

We need any amount of talon motor controllers otherwise we will be screwed for the season.

At this point you'll want to run some mechanisms on Victors or maybe Jaguars. We're running zero talons and in no way are we "screwed for the season" because of this.

At this point you should consider another type of motor controller like a victor which have very similar specs to the talon.

Thanks for tip guys.

The Victor 888 and Jaguar motor controllers are both available here:

While many teams will prefer to use talons, mine included, in no way does this ruin your season. Teams have been building robots without talons for years; these other motor controllers will do the job just fine, so do not worry! Just order some soon or make use of the donation voucher from IFI because you will definitely need some of these to build your robot.
