Re: VEXPro - After the season

I'll try and break this down by how we used their products:

Wheels and Sprockets - While there really isn't anything special here, we used the VEXPro 6" wheels (with our own tread), and the entire DT was sprocketed using VEXPro sprockets. The system held up exceptionally well. There was only a minor failure, but I blame that more on how we did things. (Grade = 100).

BAG Motors - I suppose BAG motors are a part of the VEXPro line. We used BAG Motors early and were pleasantly surprised. However, we later received a nastier surprised when the motors started failing. It appears to be a common thing around FIRST and VEX has yet to nail down the issue. (Grade = 30)

Planetaries - These things are beautiful, customizable, and they build on each other SOOO well. There were some complaints about the piloting of the RS550s, but the issue is easily resolved. (Grade = 95)

My team is really hoping to get a chance to use their DT gearboxes at some point in the future.
