These things are still in progress, we were not happy with some of our preliminary outcomes so we are working through some technical difficulties. That being said, we had to shift some of our resources both mental and financial to some of our FRC products (namely the SPARK motor controller), which has put some of them in a holding pattern waiting for some attention.

At this point I can't give an exact date for the release of these products, and would not hold out for them for this FTC season. We have always had the date of April 2016 in our books for a full kit release, which includes all of these parts & more. That is still our main target date, but we were hoping to release some for early adopters sooner, like what we have done for the brackets, linear motion parts, and extrusion.

If there is anything specific you are looking for I may be able to provide you with some pre-production samples to evaluate but we are still quite away from a full product launch. I am really sorry about this, and hope that no teams were waiting directly for these products. We wish we were farther along than we are, but also wont sacrifice quality for speed in this case.
