Re: IFI Site IR Boards
It looks like they haven't quite yet finalized what the cost will be. But seeing the $5x.xx gives teams that need to replace it a ballpark number that they will need to spend.

I personally think $5x.xx is way out of line. Since you can get the TinyIR2 kit for $25 plus shipping. I cannot believe manufacturing and distribution costs would justify doubling the cost.

I'd also like to know how they are going to manage the distribution of the remaining units such that the teams that need to replace their "fried" ones can have a chance at getting one, versus teams that only want a spare or an extra one.
