On my last trip to @TheFloatLife shop I sat down with Jeff and Bodhi and asked their thoughts on VESC, its place in our Onewheel community and how they perceive it to be a potential competitor to Future Motion. Very interesting perspectives! I tried to speak less and let them share their opinions freely.

**Keep in mind this was filmed a few weeks ago and since then there has been a major breakthrough in the VESC firmware to resolve much of what Jeff was concerned on, and we're now working on features that Bodhi expressed interest in.** What do you guys think on the state of VESC?? Let us know!
