With the discontinuation of the Banebots motors( 775 and 550 mainly) there was the potential for a huge power deficit between the motors available to rookie teams and those of veteran teams, especially those holding large stockpiles. There would have been close to a 100 watt power deficit between the BB RS775-18 and the am-9015. This was until VEXPRO released the 775pro, legality is still unknown sadly.
The 888 on the other hand, does not give a major advantage over other currently available FRC controllers. It is still a great controller, and it can cope with serious amp draw.
I'd say start working on other forms of wireless communication. Scout using Morse Code, hand signals, light flashes (LOST anybody?)... Paper cups and string are cheap too... - AndyB [more]
