Hi Doug,

There will be Documents/CAD files coming out that will show how to integrate the VEXpro Ball Lock (3 CIM) and WCP Gearboxes into the AM14U.

All you have to do is push in a bearing into one of the VEXpro Ball Shifter 3rd stage/WCD plate. Push it up to the AM14U Inside Plate and match drill 4 holes. It should only take a few minutes to make this modification.

Attached some pics of the configuration. We will get this out in the next couple of days.

Let me know if you need any other information. We will have all the details out in the next couple of days.
