You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p. - EricH [more]
I spoke (very briefly) with an Analog Devices employee this weekend, and he said the issue is that if they sold the IMU it would be over the $400 limit for an individual component on the robot. Thus they provided them via FIRST Choice, making it a KOP item.
I do not know whether they have plans to sell them or not.
Strange, as I understand it, KOP items are exempt from the $400 limit. e.g. the $435 RoboRio...
