[image] [image] [image] My friends at Robot Mesh have announced their closing. For many of you, your favorite reseller will be stopping VEX products. And STEM Robotics will also not be a reseller after Saturday. Since 2008, STEM Robotics has been a reseller. Thanks to Bob M @Bob_Mimlitch_I…

This is overall a very bad decision for the community, but honestly I’m not surprised but very sad about it. I can think of many instances where Robotmesh and the like carried VEX and I will say without Robotmesh software effort we would not have VEX code as it exists now, and I’m not sure it will …

I very much would like to know the rationale behind VEX shutting down resellers. Increase profits? Decrease accessibility of parts? Who is to say. You all will be missed.

I would personally like to thank Robot Mesh, as in past years, they were the only reason we and other teams on our little island could afford to do any kind of competition robotics, with their fair pricing and free shipping.

I would also like to personally thank Robot Mesh for the years of excellent customer service, free shipping, reliability, and free advice. We will really miss them and I will make sure to order as much from them as I can until they close.

ALL resellers? Will Robosource.net also be closing down? I never personally used Robot Mesh, since they don’t ship to my area, but it is still very sad to see them go nonetheless.

Robosource is not an official VEX reseller, they mostly sell VRC-legal commodity parts such as screws and rubber bands, plus tools, storage solutions, etc. Those are all things that can be bought wholesale from normal vendors.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

So to get this straight… Robosource.net is ok. However, RMS is shutting down? Now is the coding platform for RMS shutting down? Or just the supply site?
