Seriously though, these things are even smaller than Spikes. I can see why you would only bother with 4 relay ports on the roboRIO if you knew these were in the pipeline. Why bother with a 20A max relay with a fuse you have to replace when you can have a 40A speed controller in the same footprint?

Cost and Complexity for the end user? A relay is a lot easier to use than an ESC if all you need is forward/stop/reverse.
