Re: IR Board Fried?
I contacted F.I.R.S.T. when we initially had issues with the board.

The first thing they told us was we probably had a fried voltage regulator and to replace it. We did this, and the board still didn't work. I personally think it would have never worked.

I informed F.I.R.S.T. by email last evening after we had exhausted all the diagnostics we could perform on the IR board in an attempt to get it working.

The response I received this morning:
Please refer to Team Update #2. The remaining FIRST IR boards will be sold in the FIRST Store on the Innovation First, Inc. website. The boards are not available yet, but should be shortly.


Personally I'm not thrilled with the answer, but it is what it is. So when they are available we'll have to get a replacement.
