Re: Back for more..VEXpro 2014 Product Unveiling

I've been playing around with VersaPlanetary CAD models today, and it has been a learning experience. They're really neat little boxes.

What holds a ring gear add-on stage to the new dual input gearbox? The STEP model shows a couple of 10-32 screws sticking out, but there is no threaded 10-32 hole to go into on the ring gear stage. The 10-32 screw would seem to go into the the cutout corners of the ring gear block. Does the ring gear's shoulder press fit into the plastic housing of the dual input?

This picture shows the 10-32 screws sticking out and not connecting to the ring gear. What have I missed?



I tried rotating the ring gear 90 degrees to use the other holes with 8-32 screws, but it looks like the distance between those 8-32 holes is less than 2", presumably to force people to assemble VersaPlanetary boxes correctly. This picture off the Vex Pro website shows the ring gear in the same orientation as I am trying to assemble it.
