They also don't see who would want this business with the exception of the manufacturer if Victors whom they think/hope will bid on the RFP. They did not think an open-source program would have the industrial strength to be successful in the long run.

At the end of the day for a successful solution we need a product that has other markets than the 2000 teams at FRC. The Vic is the only contender at this time.

This is just sad.

Thanks for confirming my speculation from earlier in this thread, that TI just doesn't see a business case where a profit could be made. Keep in mind that since it was just something they acquired as part of a bundle their decision to discontinue it was most likely made on the straight variable costs of manufacturing them and doesn't include amortizing the cost of development nor tooling.
