Re: VEXPro - After the season
As a meta comment to all FRC suppliers this year I will say that one of my bigger frustrations has been with all things hex.

Finding straight, well-toleranced hex shaft that has a decent fit on runout- and wobble-free hex bearings/gears/sprockets has been a real pain. We had to mix and match hex products from VexPro, AndyMark, West Coast Products, and McMaster (and re-broach/clean up some pieces ourselves) to make assemblies that we could slide together while still being mostly runout/wobble free.
