Re: VEXpro 2015 Product line launch

You can always tap for a #10-32 heli-coil, threaded insert. I'm a #10 and #8 guy. If I had to use 1/4", it would be 1/4-28.

That being said, the more COTS teams are in 1/4-20 land. This makes sense.

Being Mr #10, I'm STOKED about the hole as we'd never use a bolt to retain the items on a shaft... but these will make great heavy duty standoffs with the hole already drilled.

ThunderHex is my favorite new product, and I think they did it perfectly. Now time for 3/8" thunderhex next year
