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

Are the parts lists for the 2 and 3 stage ball shifters mixed up?

The 2 stage lists "Ball Shifter Long Output Shaft Assembly with 60t and 44t Ball Shifter Gears"

The 3 stage lists "Ball Shifter Short Output Shaft Assembly with 60t and 44t Ball Shifter Gears"

The images (and CAD) show the 2 stage with a shorter output shaft than the 3 stage, which I assume is correct.

Any ideas for using the 3-stage shifter for a WCD/direct driven center wheel? The lower housing hex standoffs look like they will interfere with putting a 16T #25 sprocket on the drive axle to power the front/rear wheels. Turning the gearbox sideways would work, but that eats up >2" of ground clearance, meaning at least 6" wheels would be required.
