Looks good. Although from the current view, it looks like the rear of a semitruck with a wide body kit.
Should flow well with the new electronics and looks to be a tad bit shorter.

Man! With a fast controller combined with current and speed feedback stock i foresee people implementing some really sharp control algorithms.

At which point we can all say with 99% certainty that it's a software problem

Well this one is worth being weird

[techtiger1]

I would like to hear from FIRST if this is being tested currently or on the market or what the development stage is on them. I intended to email the supplier to find out more information about it, avalibility, price, etc. Anyone else with me on this?

[vivek16]

Yeah, a price tag would be nice. It would be a real bummer if there weren't enough or if they were too expensive.

what are the slots on the front? It looks like one is PWM, but what are the black things?

The black things are the RJ-45 plugs for the CAN communication option. On the front, there are 5 groups of headers. From left to right, these are PWM (surrounded by plastic casing), Brake/Coast, Analog Input, Quadrature Encoder Input, and Limit Switches.

And then on the front face of the whole enclosure is the cable retension tabs.
