I've been told it goes back to when the VEX kits were first released at Radioshack and IFI was having a lot of problems because many of the kits were defective and IFI began to lose money and had to break ties with Radioshack. Then it goes into even more detail but it's more trouble to explain what had happened between FIRST and IFI.
I've heard that FTC next year for the Fall 2008 season though will still be allowed to use the VEX kits but it will be their last year to be allowed to use them for FTC.
