But hey they were free, and they ran our robot straight through championships.

I don't mean to pick on you, but I've seen a lot of posts like this.

The only failures we have EVER experienced with the IFI system and any of it's components have been our own fault.

We have had only a couple incidents I can recall. One fried an entire RC, a couple other times we had connectors shear off of it because of our own stupidity.

My point is that if you experienced systematic problems with the IFI control system, it was probably something you were doing incorrectly, because when used properly all of IFI's stuff just plain works. Do their products have things that could be better? Sure, everything does, but what they have is pretty darn good.

It's also not fair to IFI, who has been a fantastic supporter of FIRST, to insinuate that their products are anything less than quality, which is clearly not the case.
