- 10 (?) Clamping Shaft Collar - 1/2" Hex ID (http://www.vexrobotics.com/shaft-collars.html)

We have some geared motors (http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0915.htm) coming as a part of FIRSTChoice. What should we do in terms of sprockets: 25 series (http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2182.htm) + (http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0749.htm)?

Putting the shaft through the aluminum tubing - how is this done? Is there enough space for hex bearings?
I would get the shaft and wheels from VEX just to minimize the vendors for convenience.
