Re: [FTC]: TETRIX kit Backorder

Thank you, everyone. This feedback received has been extremely helpful and appreciated.

Our team now has some design parameters to work around and a much better understanding of the motor controls, which we had not hitherto.

I am also in communications with LEGO Education/Pitsco concerning this backorder and I hope that it will be resolved shortly (but cannot say with certainty that it will be).

Unfortunately, I suspect that the majority of teams most severely affected by this backorder are also teams with limited communication capabilities to the FIRST community (CD being a key conduit in this regard). I have to think that if NI (A company for which I have the very highest regard and use only as an example here) was unable to ship cRIO's until well after FRC kick-off, there would be a great outcry from the FRC community. I hear basically nothing concerning the Tetrix backorder. Is this really a non-issue?
