Re: VEXpro 2015 Product line launch
New products are looking good, but I have a few questions:
1. Will the new products also be available through therobotspace.com? No sign of any updates on their website yet.
2. The concept of the Thunderhex shaft is great, but is the entire shaft hollow? Have you done any bending tests on it? I suspect there will be many bent axles as teams push these axles further out in cantilevered designs with wider wheel options.
3. The lower cost, and presumably lighter, plastic Versablock is a great new addition, but there is a lack of information about it currently. Does it also feature the 1/16" offset to allow for easy creation of a dropped center drive? Is it still intended to be used with the WCP Cam? The notches on the edges are gone. Does the 1+2 bolt configuration provide sufficient clamping to prevent twisting when under tension from a belt or chain?
Thanks for the feedback and continual dedication to improving the competition.
