Allow me to tell you a story: In 2011 we had 4 CIMs, 4 Windows, and a handful of 500 series motors as useable options for motors. The only manufacturer at the time that sold a reasonable planetary gearbox for them was banebots [1] All gearboxes pretty much went out of stock at the start of build. They stayed that way until middle of competition season. Any team that didn't order week 1 basically couldn't get a viable COTS solution to the problem.

Since then we've added a handful of suppliers who, while they aren't always in stock are far better than Banebots was that year [2]

I know RC, I know he's not knowingly screwing folks over. If he says something external factor is delaying it, that's what's delaying it. At least he's communicating instead of just saying "we'll update the website".




[1] Banebots, manufacturer of the 2007 kitbot transmissions that, if you followed instructions, exploded due to how they were loaded

[2] Banebots was on my BAD SUPPLIER NO COOKIE list for years, honestly, they are still low on my priority list.
