Just something quick that I feel must be pointed, if only for clarity. FIRST itself has nothing directly to do with manufacturing and distribution of kits. VEX has gone from RadioShack to Innovation FIRST (aka IFI) which is a completely independent company.
That being said though, I think there is a lot of hope that IFI will be able to innovate more with VEX that RadioShack ever seemed to want to do.
