Its BACK! Due to requests from the community REV has brought back the original SPARK Motor Controller. This motor controller has been the workhorse, go-to brushed DC controller, known for its toughness, ease of use, and affordability in FRC for many years. We have built a single production run of the original SPARK Motor Controller for the 2020 FRC season, if the product sells out we will not be re-stocking them during the season.
The REV Robotics SPARK Motor Controller is an inexpensive brushed DC motor controller designed to give FIRST® Robotics Competition teams more bang for their buck. The SPARK Motor Controller features 60A continuous current with passive cooling, bi-directional limit switch inputs for smart mechanism control, an RGB LED status indicator, and a button-activated brake/coast mode.
