While I do agree that the vex cortex is probably closer to an optimal controller than the cRIO was, it is not a replacement for the cRIO/roboRIO.
The vex controller can't do image processing, it can't be programmed in LV or java, and it doesn't have an ethernet port or a CAN port. It also doesn't have an FPGA. While it may be a substitute for 99% of FRC robot controllers, there are definitely teams who do need the extra stuff.
