With the discontinuation of the Banebots motors( 775 and 550 mainly) there was the potential for a huge power deficit between the motors available to rookie teams and those of veteran teams, especially those holding large stockpiles. There would have been close to a 100 watt power deficit between the BB RS775-18 and the am-9015. This was until VEXPRO released the 775pro, legality is still unknown sadly.

The 888 on the other hand, does not give a major advantage over other currently available FRC controllers. It is still a great controller, and it can cope with serious amp draw.
