First the switch away from IFI controllers in FRC, then the axing of FVC in favour of FTC, then minibots which ONLY allow Tetrix parts, VEX parts being specifically banned, and now this. Just stop. Seriously. Are these the messages we want to teach the kids?

Your comments are way, WAY out of line. You should consider that you don't really know ANY of the facts involved in this situation, and maybe need to calm down.
In 2013 IFI was a Crown Supplier to FIRST, and we enjoy a fantastic working relationship with the folks in Manchester.
