This option is available for Canadian teams as well. Our pickup location is the IFI Canada office, in Pickering, just east of Toronto. Teams can order online and come pick up the products on the same day.

So when do we open the Midwest office up in Cincinnati?

I was thinking of Chicago or St. Louis for the Midwest office.

Maybe just split the difference and go with Kokomo?

While we are not anticipating any inventory problems, we will impose a limit of (10) Victor 888's per order during the period before kickoff to ensure availability in January.

Oh phooey. There goes my plan to buy 1,000 for team 3940!

Ha! I sent an email to our head mentor saying "20?".

His reply was: "At least."

As part of our increased support for FRC teams in the upcoming season, we are pleased to announce that the Jaguar Motor Controller will be available from VEX Robotics for $60 from December 5, 2012 - April 15, 2013.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

I <3 the free market.

(sometimes)

[Allison K]

It now costs more to buy motor controllers for FTC (a program marketed as a less resource intense option) than it does to buy them for FRC. High fives for IFI.
