I looked closely at their stuff about a year ago and they have a lot of 
good stuff, including some nice R/C relays that can definitely be used 
for either drive controllers or rotate/elevate control.  And, their 
prices are pretty reasonable.  I'm not sure how reliable their stuff is, 
but I assume that the battlebot world that they come from heaps more 
abuse on their components than we do.

What they were lacking (at least a year ago) was a single board that 
will allow you to mix the input from two channels and drive two tracks 
using relays (which is what I was looking for).  If they have such a 
product now, then it is definitely worth looking at.
