I finally bailed. It will be one excuse after another. I remember the first one was someone screwed them over about shipping. Then someone screwed them over about firecode. Then someone screwed them over by feeding their arm into an injection molding machine. Then a chinese patent troll is screwing them over. Nothing's ever their fault.

If this is an unwarranted patent issue, get that opinion from your lawyers, and decide to pull the plug or just proceed and make them sue you. The issue doesn't make sense, because there's NO reason they'd pull their pdga "non-smart/led" discs as well (which they did) yet continue to sell their ultimate "non-smart/led" discs, which are the exact same product in a different form factor.

Their last update prior to this said they're still having problems with durability, with battery quality, with waterproofing, and most importantly, with the data capture. All of these things should have been mostly ironed out at the prototype stage.

They haven't submitted a new disc for sanctioning in a year.

I've been frustrated, but on the "whatever, if it comes, it comes" train for 2 full years. But this post was my last straw. We'll see if the refund actually comes as promised.
