Man, someone would really have to know their stuff to create firmware for a sensorless BL controller! Even companies in the BL business for years can't seem to get it all done perfect (smooth/no cogging, good brakes/reverse, etc). And whoever you get to do this would be running the risk of blowing prototype ESCs until the bugs are worked out. I think many here would plunk down ~$500 for a "be all end all" controller, so I hope your search for a firmware developer is fruitful!

Seems like it would be easier to simply rob the brains from a MMM and make your own bullet-proof power PCB. With the exception of a couple of my "wish list" items, it looks like they all could be met with better FET hardware.
