You know, assuming it's durable, I would be suprised to see VeX popping up in a combat robotics leagure sometime soon. The controller/radio combo is pretty cheap for its usability and you could then spend your money on big dog speed controllers like the HV and Thor victors, as well as the Victor 885, and some of the massive speed controllers that measure their maximum sustained amperages in the hundreds.
