<R15><R15>As many people have probably experienced, the micro USB port in the Vex brain easily breaks after repeated use. In the past the brains would be able to be sent back to Vex to be fixed, but that is not an option anymore as they have discontinued that program. Having Vex fix the ports is the only way to ensure that the brains are still legal for competition as teams cannot tamper with the electronics. Would it be ok to have the brains sent to another company to replace the micro USB port or to fix them ourselves?
