Re: VEXPro - After the season

We had several of the VersaPlanetary gearboxes on our robot and we liked the easy configuration between shaft output types and the multiple motor inputs.

The biggest issue we had with a couple of them was we stripped the hexagon socket set screw that tightened onto the motor shaft. I haven't determined if this was the students using worn hex keys, incorrect size hex keys, or what. If we tried to take the set screw off, the internal hexagon socket became damaged so that we couldn't remove the set screw. Maybe a different quality set screw would eliminate this problem.
