Where did you see that? We needed another CMUcam during the season (after Midwest, several weeks before the Championship) and IFI was out of stock. We had to borrow one from another team. I know other people have had that problem with other parts too. I think if you read Jack's post more closely you'll find that he had out-of-stock problems during the season as well as afterwards (or at least that's how I interpreted it).
