Our team has run into cracking issues before, so I just want to make sure they don;t have the same issue. It seems like high quality, lightweight, relatively inexpensive stuff for us to use, I was just wondering if anybody had anything to look out for.

Note: Not trying to bash VEX, they always make high quality stuff.
The problem is that no one, outside of IFI, has ever touched any of the vex pro stuff. They haven't shipped anything yet; we have ordered some products from them with the intent to get a feel of them before full utilizing them in our robot.

But that being said, I do expect everything to be solid the very least.
