Not to mention .. IFI controllers arent limited to FRC competitions. Alot of other combat robot competions requiring the use of IFI controllers (since the competition uses IFI arena controllers). Then theres the Victors .. which are also used in many combat robot competitions, and are almost 1 of a kind. Very few speed controllers can support the surge and continuious current loads the victors can.

Going back to the issue at hand ..

I think a call to IFI is in order. I'm sure you could work out some arrangement for a swap with them (since the controllers are still under warranty).
