Hopefully the pipeline and pricing will all be straightened out soon. We needed this one now for prototyping, but will certainly hold off on any others.

Here is the link to the Microluminary page listing stock, This also reflects the Digikey stock numbers. Unfortunately
no one checked my time table prior to scheduling production. And just as unfortunately this is all coming out of my pocket. (Rookie team = ^<$0)

I agree with Bob Steel's comment and would add that Micro Luminary has done a great job in getting FRC teams a improve motor controller at a improved price.
A really neat addition would be to involve teams that have experienced failures in the process of determining what caused the failures and testing improved versions on the platform where the failure occurred.
