MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If your receive your bundle please post how many motors you ordered per bundle and what VEX actually sent.
On the Facebook VEX Coaches page, there is a discussion that 4 motors were being shipped with bundles. Not sure that this translates to all bundles, trade-in or not…
Four? That’s not a comforting number.
For the ghost teams it is more than they will use during a season.
Ghost teams?
A situation where an organization may register more teams than have actually competed in the last season or more…
Think - register 300 teams when you only had two ever compete … you get x$$$ discount and 30%off 6000 motors…
I do not believe anyone would go to that extreme, but consider what would prevent it.
Ok, that is consistent with what I was told.
The early pre-orders for v5 have arrived; we actually received ours today
This seems like a totally possible option that could definitely benefit some organizations and has no negative ramifications for the organization actually doing it. Obviously 300 teams is a lot but registering an extra team or two seems quite plausible.
If enough teams do this, it will seem to show a fictitiously high growth rate and it will benefit some regions more than others, which is potentially problematic.
Separately, @Jared2183 when you get a chance, could you test the torque of a v5 motor against a 393? Thank you!
