Incorporating the vex ball shifter into a WCD Drive
Since I had heard about the new line of vexpro products, it has gotten me thinking about all the ways that teams can incorporate these products into existing proven designs.

Does anybody know the best way for a team to utilize vex pro's ball shifter on a 6 Wheel 254 style West coast drive? I know that this ball shifter gearbox is enclosed, preventing the addition of internal drive sprockets. Are there any other ideas about how to make a cantilevered drop center 6/8 wheel drive?

Thanks, and I can't wait to hear the ingenuity of the chief Delphi community!
