Re: Talons, Jaguars and Victors - where do you stand?
Anyone from CTRE or AndyMark want to chime in on availability of Talons to support this year's FRC season in a timely manner? We had committed to the Talon form factor and bought 8 of them up front, but when we went back for more and for spares they weren't available until APRIL, and we weren't willing to go into competition with zero spares so we ended up having to fit Jag's in a few places. I'm sure a lot of teams are like us and don't have an endless supply of funds available up front so we're not willing or capable to overstock ourselves just because a supplier can't maintain inventory. I'll give it to first year availability and being overwhelmed with the response, but I'd really like to hear that they (or AndyMark) have done something about it before I commit this year. It doesn't matter how good they are if you can't get them.
