We have been saying this year that our robot is "Made in China" and "Assembled in America". We certainly kept the VexPro employees employed this year as our robot BOM has a large amount of VexPro product on it...
We have said before that would could not
buy the gears we used to build our own ball shifting transmissions for the price of a complete VexPro one.
We have certainly ran in to some quality issues over the past two years with the VexPro product, but the large majority of it has been excellent. Especially the Ball Shifters.
It was very obvious this year that VexPro is providing the product that teams need even though the majority of it is made in China.
