I heard through a person from FIRST that it is the fault of a couple of people who feel like they should keep it under wraps for fear that it will get out into the FIRST community. It is annoying, especially for teams because FIRST already has the ones they need, but we are left hanging with out of stock suppliers scratching their heads waiting for someone to pop out and say, "January fool"!
Oh well, at least it is an item available to most every team, just not an exact copy.
