ValueError: shapes (1,11) and (1,11) not aligned: 11 (dim 1) != 1 (dim 0)
This is because numpy is expecting dot() to operate between something of shape (1,11) and something of shape (11,1), producing a single scalar. FiPy, instead, is trying to produce a field of 11 scalars from two fields of 11 vectors.

to operate between something of shape (1,11) and something of shape (11,1), producing a single scalar. FiPy, instead, is trying to produce a field of 11 scalars from two fields of 11 vectors.Based on the writeup on Robin conditions, this used to work, but numpy has been active lately.
Note that
works fine (although it has a separate issue (#961) with the representation of an indexed variable).
