Go to Post I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) - =Martin=Taylor= [more]

Chastising your customers in a public forum for complaining about defective products that you supplied? That's an interesting brand of customer service to say the least. In general the FIRST community are one of the most forgiving population samples that you'll ever find. The fact that there's been this much outcry about your products and customer service from a group that's normally very tolerant should absolutely leave an impression upon you.
Some people here actually defending other banebots products like the 550's and the P60 transmissions. Frankly, that's a testimate to how forgiving this community is. We saw 50% failure on our 775 motors last year. Some shafts were locked up coming out of the box. Some good ones later developed case shorts. Yet we still bought some products from banebots this year, though we'll never buy a 775 again (we even had one fail during championship inspection).
