This is a rendering of the new 2009 speed controller for the FIRST robotics competition.
http://www.luminarymicro.com/jaguar is the manufacturer site for it. There is a basic spec sheet available on that site.

I was skeptical on how big the new ones would be. Nice to see they are about the same size as the Victors.

So is this the replacement for the VIC's? looks pretty sweet!

How'd you find out about this Greg? There doesn't seem to be anything on the FIRST or NI websites about it.

yup I saw that then did a little googling to find it and then took this as a screen capture out of the spec sheet. I figure teams would want to see it and the thread about it was bound to get buried after a short time.

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.

WooHoo! sheilded from debris!
Do I see a spot for an atari game cartridge?

p.s. Is it weird we think speed controllers are sexy?

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
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?

Re: pic: 2009 Speed Controller by Luminary Micro
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?

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

this is quite an elaborate hoax!
i dont think anyone questioned the source of this information.
no picture.... just a drawing??
