Since the release of the new V5 Pneumatics Kit, it seems like VEX no longer sells the standalone solenoid drivers (275-1417). This is a pretty bad inconvenience for teams wishing to buy parts from SMC, as it’s no longer possible to legally acquire new cables from VEX without buying the entire $200 kit. Are there any plans to sell the driver cables as a standalone part again?

In addition to that, I would like to know if there are plans to sell the new pneumatic components (newmatics) individually, and not in the $300 kit?

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but seeing as my question directly pertains to this, and that it would be just extra clutter if I made a new topic, I decided to post on this.
The solenoid cables have again been labeled out of stock. Seeing what @bkahl said above, is it safe to assume VEX will no longer be selling any more (discontinued)?
If so, where can teams like us get any replacements, or could we get a game manual rule allowing for 3rd party adapters to be used as substitutes?

Or given that they appear to take a analog signal and convert to simple on/off… maybe cables for other old 3 wire stuff could be scavenged for solenoid wires.
