Re: VEX Pro Parts Feedback, 2015

Lots of positives for VEXPro this year.

Here are the improvements needed:

1) Further reduce costs of everything. Maybe make the versaplanetary ring gear segments out of nylon with an embedded aluminum ring gear.

2) All the hexes and versakey patterns need to be clocked the same! We had to cut a double sprocket in half to get a set of hex keyed sprockets keyed the same.

3) Inventories need to be increased. I'll forgive the omni and mecanum shortage this year, but gears and sprockets are going to be used every year, and shouldn't go out of stock. This may clash with comment 1, but I'd like to see an attempt at both.
