Even the happy customers will be very wary next year...
I sent them a private message telling them as much. They will have to work hard to try to rebuild trust from the FIRST community. They will have to guarantee that they have the ability to deliver their product immediately upon request if they have any hope of serving FIRST teams in the future, and unless they take very concrete steps to demonstrate this willingness AND the capability to back it up, they're going to find themselves without customers come Janurary 2012.
