Is it really that surprising though?

Let's say we have 3000 teams, and let's say that half of them are going to order a certain item, such as a Talon SRX. If each team wants to order 10 of them. that is 15000 Talons that have to be shipped, within the first week. That is a LOT of items.

There ARE alternatives, like was said earlier, buying them in advance. You CAN also use different speed controllers, such as Jaguars, Victors, or regular Talons. Sure, it isn't the same, but do they still perform an adequate job? Yes.

I'm sure AndyMark is working as hard as they can to get these back in stock.

Consider this another engineering challenge. In the real world, I'm sure you don't always have everything you need right away.

Is it frustrating? Sure is. I know my team wanted to use the new Talon SRX, but alas we waited too long to order. Oh well, we will make due with something else.
