Yeah, there is a lot to like.

I'm noticing a theme....

In all seriousness, that is good to know. My team has only disassembled our 2014 robot and we built a demo bot for kids out of the chassis, but we've been stripping the control systems off of all but the demo bot and this year's, so we could use some cheap control systems.

We would have no need for CAN capabilities, so could the price point be dropped even further by using Sparks?
