Go to Post What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. - FIRST_Parent [more]

A massive power transistor has a much wider market than FRC and a much higher price point.

However with all the interest in drones and places like SuperDroidRobotics selling kits that are FRC size like for plows and snowblowers...the market is growing.

I suspect back in the day when audio receivers were individual power transistors many people also thought they would not be surpassed by integrated modules. Odds are if you tear down a retail home reciever you find modules in plenty of them.
