Bumping this question, because I haven't seen an answer to it yet. Apologies if it's been answered, but I couldn't find a response in this thread and the model isn't on the website.

JVN & team:

For the ball shifter, the recommended Grayhill 63R encoders seem to be a bit expensive, about $65 or so. The US Digital encoders are half that. Why is the Grayhill encoder recommended?

If we choose the US Digital encoder, do you expect it to be 'easy' to mount to the shifter?

Concerning the 2-stage ball shifter with long output shaft, am I correct in assuming a (1/2") hex bearing might be needed to support the far end of the shaft, and that it is not included?

Thanks,
Don

One of the first things I thought.....hmmmm seems a lot like apple's video's!

Amazing products though, and awesome prices, it'll really be interesting this year to see what teams decide to build or buy. I think they'll be some tough choices!

Hi Don,
We have provided mounting in the kit for both encoders. We don't prefer one or the other, but of the myriad of Grayhill encoders, that model is the one we recommend.

If you look on the shifter page you can see we have CAD files posted showing the shifter with each encoder type mounted (one CAD model with Grayhill, one with US Digital).

Concerning the long output shaft on the 3-stage:
It depends on the loading application. What do you intend?
That shaft is double supported by 1/2" bearings, so many applications would not require additional support.

More hypothetical than anything. Perhaps a better wording would be "IF I wanted to support the far end of the shaft, would a half inch hex bearing be appropriate?"

Thanks for the other responses John, that's really helpful information.

It mentions on ball shifter page that they provide mounting points for the US Digital and Greyhill encoders.

Can someone provide me a part number for the Greyhill encoders?

Scroll down to near the bottom of the page, they have a link to the Greyhill 63R series encoders.

Future Electronics sells them, for example, but you can find them at a better price if you look. I think Digikey has them for about $10 less.

When I try to use the PDV for VEXPro products is the cost for the products supposed to go to zero in the cart? When I go to checkout it shows full price for everything still and I thought this was supposed to be a PDV.

Are you ordering more than the PDV limit?

Your PDV can be used for the following:

Either (2) Victor 888 Motor Controllers, (2) Jaguar Motor Controllers or (1) of each
(1) 2-Wire Motor 393
(1) Motor Controller 29
(1) F-F 3-Wire Adapter

No I just tried to order the 2 Victor 888 Controllers.

Make sure you are on the PDV page:

http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/pdv-group.html

Let us know if it is still giving you trouble.

Best,
Ricky

I am on the PDV page and I put the code in the box on the page and when I add the items to the cart it accepted the code, but everything was still full price and I continued through the checkout to see if it would change and up to the final point before paying everything still showed full price.

The Discount Amount should be showing up on the 'My Cart' page - which you can get to at top right.

If there are still issues, give our sales team a call at 903-453-0802 and we can get it straightened out.

Best,
Ricky
