Re: The Lack of Spares ... Good or Bad

Lucien,

We're not very happy about the fact that we can't get spares for the FP's either. I won't feel safe until we have at least 6 spare motors, given prior experiences with them. It's so much easier to just buy a bunch of spares than to have to beg/borrow motors from other teams. Especially considering that with the loss of the 2 big CIM's, most teams will likely be using their FP motors, which means less teams willing to part with them, and more demand for the motors overall.

If there really are none of our model available, it'd be nice (though HIGHLY unlikely) if we were allowed to use whatever the closest performance available model is.
