My team and I are starting a FRC rookie team and have been trying to gain experience in every way possible. However, things are just not going our way. Since we are a rookie team, we have no parts. I am trying to get some motors and speed controllers to play with before we get thrown into the 6 week build season, but with the new updated roboRIO and new speed controllers coming out, all of the other speed controllers on Andymark, and VexPro are all out of stock. None of the new ones are out yet so we can't test the new or old speed controllers. Motors, gearboxes, and wheels are easier to source and since the roboRIO is new and no one has them, I will play around with an arduino controlling everything.

I am wondering if anyone knows of another source to get speed controllers since that seems to be the most important part to drive the chassis and isn't substitutable by another product. Or if anyone is willing to sell their old Talons SRs, or Victors or even the Jaguars at a reasonable price. I am willing to take them if they can get to me soon.

Thanks!
