Re: VEXPro - After the season

Versaplanteries are amazing and pretty much allow our robot to exist.

We're also using a full VEXpro drive train with the chassis in a day, single speed gearboxes (5.33:1), vex sprockets, and versawheels.

I will say that we have seen heavy ware on on our versawheels. The four that are on the ground all the time are practically round after our two regionals. They are first on our list of things to change out at Razorback next week. I still love them but we have worn them down enough to need replacement. At $5 a wheel I really wouldn't care if I had to change them each regional.

Also I can't say enough about how awesome their hex shafts and 1/2" shaft stock are for the price. Plus their hex shaft collars are awesome as well.
