Re: REV Sparks or Vex Victor 888?
The Victors are a previous generation speed controller. We basically used them for over a decade with great success as the only legal speed controller (when they were the 883s & 884s). The Rev Spark is a new speed controller that is designed to be inexpensive while still giving some of the benefits of new technology like not needing a fan to actively cool it and allowing you to use limit switches directly with the speed controller to add feedback to your mechanisms. We have a few of the Sparks in house have tested them a bit, they seem to be working well so far.
You won't be able to purchase any Victors, what teams already have and what are available in FIRST Choice will be the last of the 888s. The Sparks are available on Amazon and ship prime so you can get them quickly if you need a replacement.
