Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

Currently not many. It is much harder to fabricate, especially because most of the teams that build custom transmissions use COTS parts from andymark. However, before the invention of andymark, there were many other teams that used call lock transmissions.

222 is the only other one that I know of. They have been doing it for a number of years as well (at least as far back as 2004).

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

This will be extremely useful for a novice like me. Thank you guys for putting so much effort into this product line.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

It will be very interesting to see if IFI can keep up with demand. Often times, initial roll out volume of new products is done in a conservative manner in order to test demand level before production is ramped up. No business wants to get stuck with 1000's of unsold "widgets"...which I know won't happen in this case. I am curious what the product pipeline duration is for stock replacement of sold items like the ball shifter.

These gearboxes look really really really really nice.

I think I'll be spreadsheeting and CAD'ing a lot soon (after finals of course).


Also, it appears that the VEXpro ARM9's link is now gone from the VEXpro section of the site, and isn't liked to from anywhere else on the main site.

Still very impressed with the weight. Very impressed.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

I asked this and was told they will have a very large inventory.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

There any sort of ETA on parts besides "Ships before Kickoff"? Because if it can ship soon then we might just buy some stuff from VEXPro.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

I expect VexPro will be delivering on their promises. IFI has not let me down yet and I don't think Paul will allow that trend to change now. He is probably kicking rear-ends to keep things on schedule, even as we discuss this.

I ordered a pile of stuff this morning that Ships Before Kickoff.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

Officailly excited now.

I can not wait to play with these.

Kudos IFI.

Is that the ETA it gave on when they'll arrive? If so then that means we'll have to buy some parts from AndyMark.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

And I had just finished putting together my pre-season orders. Back to the drawing board. :rolleyes:

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

I'm stunned at how good this stuff looks and how good the prices are.

While this puts price pressure on AndyMark, they will figure out how to thrive along with another big fish. AndyMark still has some important competitive advantages. And some great values, like this one.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
 

I want to thank everyone for their very kind words, and excitement regarding this launch. Everyone here at IFI is extremely proud of this new line, and the work our team has put into it.

Please bear with us as we work to answer your questions and get more information out there about these new items.

Believe it or not... launching 120+ new items is an iterative process. :)

If you have anything you'd like to know, please post in this thread or send an email to support@vexrobotics.com.

The different time period for Canada is a one time situation, to ensure that we're able to move our bulk shipment of inventory across the border in time. After kickoff, VEXpro orders placed in Canada before 3:00 pm eastern, will typically ship same day. If you're in Ontario, this usually means you'll be getting your products the day after you order. For teams local to the GTA, we offer same day pickup service at our office between 9:00 and 4:30 pm, all for a low flat rate of $5.00. We'll also have some products on display so you can take a look at them in person.
