Re: Team 751 looking to buy a robot-side controller
I don't know how much time you have to spend but IFI should be able to repare it for much less than the cost of a whole new one. Or, if you have someone VERY skilled in small electronics and surface mount stuff and the like it is possible they could fix it. By VERY skilled, I mean has been doing it for years. Otherwise, you could cause more damage than you already have.
Also, this should be a note to everyone to never screw in your tether or programming cables. Screw in cables like radio cables that are crucial to match performance, but never screw in something that you can walk up and plug back in no problem. It is always better to have the cable pull off than the port rip out.
