Re: blog; Motor Controller Options for 2015
To be clear, last year there were three speed controllers made by two companies. This year there are two speed controllers made by the same TWO companies, not one. We decided to work together to better be able to meet the demand and have the absolute best products for the market.
This is a small market and the cost to enter this market is very high. Instead of competing all the time, we decided to work together for the greater good of the FRC community. IFI believes this is a win-win-win-win for all parties involved.
With that said, I don't understand why people think it is ok to have a single source for the robot controller and power distribution but is such an "unfortunate" thing to have two FRC suppliers work together on two completely different speed controllers.
