Hosting our first event next weekend. I can either borrow field controller systems or purchase. Will V5 require different field electronics? If so, I am leaning toward borrowing for now.
Where are you located? Ask other event partners in your area to borrow the field electronics. Your regional support manager should be able to help you out as well.
I can borrow. That’s not the issue. Just wondering if V5 will change what we need. If not, we need to purchase eventually anyway, know what I mean? And the money is there…just don’t want to waste it on electronics that are obsolete after 1 use.
V5 will not change what you need. The current system will work with both the current controller and the V5 controller. There is no need for new field control.
Perfect…thanks!!!
Oh! One more question…will any 50 ft ethernet cable work just fine or do I need to be sure to use what comes with the VEX branded controller kit?
Any CAT5 cable will work as long as it’s straight through (i.e. not an Ethernet crossover cable).
