Just because something's on sale does not necessarily mean it's discontinued. I doubt they did not set a multi-year commitment when they developed the FIRST Vex challenge.

When I bought my kit, the guy at the counter said it was the first one they've sold. So, there is a high probability that the item is being discontinued as far as being on store shelves.

On the same token, the set probably will still be available online for the FVC. Sort of what LEGO did with the mindstorms kit.
