Let's look at motor controllers for a moment. We have three very good options this year (I don't ever remember having 3 before in my year with FIRST). Are some out of stock? yep. Can you still order at least 1 of the alternates. Yep. Is your season over if you can't get your hands on those 6 talons you need for your very limited space on your electronics board? nope. Adapt.
Not getting Talons was a disappointment. But not a huge problem. The flip side is look at the prices of motor controllers this year - down. Is the entry of the Talon into that area the cause of the price drop? Maybe not, but maybe in part. Competition is good. Hope they're available next year...
