Versaplanetary Gearboxes: We use them all the time. They are awesome for prototyping and iterating designs. The two 10:1s with bag motors on our intake had no issues all year. The 50:1 for shooter angle did have the pins back out a few times on the 10:1 stage, but we were running our entire arm off a cim into a planetary. If that's the only thing that goes wrong, I'm impressed.

VersaWheels and Hubs: No issues here either, though the VEX tread was quite soft. We wore through the rubber after our first competition.

Gears and Sprockets: Both show minimal wear, even after 5 competitions. We had a wheel try to eat the aluminum part of a field door, and the sprocket still looked fine.
