I am not defending Banebot but just knowing the problems can occur allows the students to learn real world issues with components.
I understand what you are saying, but Banebots should be standing behind their bad product run and FIRST should be forcing them to do so.
In the real world I would just go to another motor manufacturer and never use Banebots again, but I am not allowed to do that. So the real world analogy does not completely apply here.
A nice lesson for the students would be showing them how a company should stand behind their products. If Banebots does not want to be an example company for students, then they should not work with students, period.
