I'm aware of the potential logistical challenges of getting a license to sell a tooth profile which is owned by another company, but having glass-filled nylon timing belt pulleys (specifically in the GT2 profile) would be totally awesome.

I second this. I love belts, and having built-in integration with existing VexPro products would be an excellent improvement to the already excellent line-up. Plus they would look so pretty in black :P

Thirded.

Our team is not in a position to make our own pulleys. AM's pulley integration was awfully attractive this year, and bringing a similar functionality to VEX would simply sweeten the lineup.

As said earlier in the thread, I would love to see a three CIM ball shifter. That is all of course if the 6 CIM 4 mini CIM rule stays in place. It would make for many great drive trains for next year.

Seconded, this would be the number one item on my list.

I would love to see a good powered arm assembly. Something similar to how power-liftgate works for a minivan.

A good shoulder joint. A crank assembly (possibly minivan power gate crank), and attachment points for gas struts to balance the lifting forces.

Something I forgot to mention: the set screws on the VersaPlanetaries are terrible. They strip easily and they don't capture Allen wrenches deeply enough. Please move to longer, higher-quality screws.

HTD belts would be nice.

If you're asking for specialty belting, go up a notch and ask for GT2.

I'd love GT2 belts integrated into the vex product line.
