As time passed and the combat robot craze cooled those slowly died off, and then the conversion to the current Victor SP/Talon SRX form factor was another nail in the coffin.

Reading through the manual linked from AmpFlow, they're definitely not screwing around with this new model. I'm intrigued by the PID current control.
The new one was designed for Battlebots and was used by a number of competitors in season 2.
