Same here. Banebots cost us several matches in Florida last year. We re-engineered our entire drive train to eliminate Banebots for Philly and Champs and then did not have another electrical problem the remainder of the year.

My intent is not to bash Banebots or influence anyone. All I can say is that in a free market, I will not choose to use their products. We were not satisfied with the product, the delivery, or the 2011 response to an obvious defect.

The only way we will use another Banebots product is if we are forced to do so by the 2013 motor rules.
