IFI developed VEX. Radio Shack just sold it. When Radio Shack quit, IFI sold the kits and parts online.

Pleases do not state things that you don't know to be true. What I have seen in this thread is at least 99% speculation, if not more. I'm going to wait for the official word on this to come out, if it really happens to be true.Could IFI be quitting FIRST? Possibly. I have, however, seen no evidence of this. Even the first post had some things that could have other reasons; e.g. the kitbot trannies to BaneBots trannies could have simply been trying something new or "advertising" for BB. Let's look at each piece of "evidence" and see what all the possible reasons could be and then see if it looks like IFI is stopping their support.
