SPARK motor controllers are a very good option. Their performance and size is similar to the older Talon SR, which has proven reliability over many years of service.
The SPARK was unproven at the beginning of 2016, but our experience with it during the past 12 months of intense practice has convinced us that it can be trusted. We have bought several more since building
Sparky. We used them on demonstration robots all year, and plan to use them again in 2017.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Judging the Championship CA must be the hardest thing to do in FIRST. I'd rather try to stop an alliance of 1114, 111, and 25 from scoring 3 pointers than to judge the CA between these teams. - Andy Baker [more]
