Nice looking product!

At the time of this post (one day after the picture above was uploaded) the WCP site (http://wcproducts.net/wcp-00052/) indicated this product is sold out.

Will WCP be able to meet the requirements for a COTS supplier that are given in the [R23] of FRC Manual?

I know RC will get around to answering this question, but in the interim:

RC and WCP experienced a delay and only received all of the inventory yesterday. Right now RC is busy quality checking and organizing the products.

The site should go "live" within the next few days, and I can assure you with the amount of stock RC has, he shouldn't be running out of parts anytime soon.

I like Colson wheels for FRC, and am looking forward to giving these hubs a try.

Richard, you wont regret it, FRC2168 ran the prototypes to these hubs for the 2011 season. The wear properties, grip, and overall performance has convinced us that using any other wheels just wouldn't be the same. For reference, these are the exact wheels we pressed onto the hubs: 4"x1.5" Colson Performas (http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/BPDWC09.html)

This year for more ground clearance we are going with the 5"x1.5". I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of them.

Will there be live axle hubs too, someday? You guys are making some cool stuff.

Looking good, I'm glad to see they worked out for you so far. Care to share your experience on the pressfit and overall quality of the parts?

We just recieved our hubs yesterday, when the wheels come in I'll post up some pictures as well.

Sorry to double post, but here's our Colson Performas mounted into our chassis:

Thanks to WestCoast Products we saved a lot of time machining our own again and got a higher quality product. We strongly suggest other teams take a look at these in the future.
