As a Supplier we really appreciate that FIRST released this data.
There are a couple of insights that we can gain from looking at this, which help us to make some choices about our future products and their uses.
We had some interesting thoughts, specifically related to motor controllers
The number of total motor controllers reported used is probably lower than it actually is, mainly due to the number of teams that use Y cables to power their PWM motor controllers.
The types of PWM motor controllers reported likely has some errors in it, as the report out is based on library choice in code and all of them are the same (victor, talon, SPARK, etc). The total number of SPARK's used for example is considerably less than the number that are "in the wild" which means either people used different libraries in their code or a significant portion of them are used in practice bots or for testing ( I suspect a bit of both)
There are 8 teams that show having zero motor controllers.....
The average number of controllers per robot is 7.25
I am 99% sure line 1089 is 2848
