If you want to use the wheels, you'll have to find a way to manufacture your own hubs from raw stock that go from the VersaKey pattern to the 6mm motor shaft, the 4.7mm axle shaft, or the bolt pattern used by the Tetrix gears/sprockets/hubs so you can attach it to a Tetrix hub. |
Thank you for your reply. FTC has recently amended the rules to allow the compatible hubs. See the official post at
