Re: VEXPro - After the season
I can't say enough how much I love the VEX Versaplanetaries. We are running a BAG motor with a 100:1 Versaplanetary to change the azimuth of our shooter and it has held up phenomenally through two regionals. Even after multiple falls off the pyramid where the former AndyMark gearmotor failed with a cracked carrier due to the shock load, it has survived with no signs of wear or damage. We are also running two 30:1 Versaplanetaries on our climber powered by miniCIMs. We were able to mate them up easily by drilling out the mounting holes in the mounting kit, machining the heads on a couple SHC screws to fit, trimming the motor shaft and adding a 2mm keyway.
In the future the team plans to go with 100% VEX products as we have yet to experience a single failure or defect.
