Re: VEXpro: "A new way to play" Coming Soon...
Ought to be really interesting to see how AndyMark responds to this serious competition.

The COTS FRC parts market looks to have heated up in a big bad way this year, with 2 (kind of 3) new motor controllers at 60% of previous prices, plus a whole slew of new VEXpro drivetrain components at prices about 50% of the price of comparable AndyMark products we all know and love.

I'm not sure yet if it will be a good thing. Competition drives prices down, and selection makes for more cost-effective choices for teams to make, but I can't help but wonder if these companies might be fighting so hard over our collective nickel that they might run their margins so low trying to out-do the other that they both end up in trouble.
