I mentioned this on the Team Cockamamie Periscope, but when we opened the Spark boxes we were greeted with what might be holy grail of FIRST parts: two additional terminal screws, in a little baggy, tucked in the corner of the box.

As a mentor whose teams have all had at least one Victor sitting in the box with no terminal screws, that right there was enough to sell me!

(Granted, these Sparks didn't come straight from Amazon--they came in a box from Greg. However, it was inside the retail packaging and if this was Greg trying to hook us up I can't imagine he wouldn't just toss the extra screws in the outer box.)

The inclusion of the PWM cable sold me.

Spark + PWM Cable + Extra Screws =

If I had to complain about anything on the Spark, the LEDs are very bright.
