Re: [FTC]: FTC Game Announced

In another thread someone said there is a new chain-and-sprocket set available. I don't see it on the LEGO/Pitsco/Tetrix/FTC Website. Can anyone point me to this?

Another rumor I heard is that there is a new version of the motor speed controller which includes current limiting to reduce the number of burned out motors (anyone want to buy a one-gallon Ziploc full of 12-volt paperweights?). Anyone have facts? I'm not all that thrilled about spending over $400 to replace all our controllers, but if that's what it takes to reduce what we spend to replace burned out motors it might be worth it.

Thanks in advance.
