Re: Back for more..VEXpro 2014 Product Unveiling

A few of the cad models are messed up. The color of the models was a nice addition, but the wrong parts are used sometimes, especially in the shafts for the gearboxes. Often times they are too long and go through a motor. See the 3 CIM PTO box.

I'm also confused by the wcp 3 cim pto design. It's much thicker than it needs to be. To begin with, the distance the shifting dog travels is about twice what it needs to be. A quick reconfigure of the design let me slim the gearbox down by 1.25". There's a ton of wasted space. Also, the outer plate needs to hold 3 bearings, 4 standoff mounts, and 4 cylinder mounts, yet it has spots for mounting the CIMS. Again, this could be make significantly smaller.

I'll post a picture of what i'm talking about in an hour or so.
