Re: VEX Pro Parts Feedback, 2015

We used a lot of VEXpro stuff -- hex bearings, sprockets, gears, pinions, hubs, mecanum wheels, hex shaft, chain, masterlinks, clamping gearboxes, VP's, shaft collars, spacers, clamping bearing blocks, cams, versaframe, gusset plates, bag motors. We also ordered a lot of omni wheels before we switched to mecanum. Definitely the vast majority of our robot budget went to Vex/The Robot Space.

4 competitions --> No item from VEXpro failed.

My only request would be to make the two top bolt holes for the clamping gearbox have a little more meat around the top on the motor insert side--the nut cradle stripped on one gearbox when the nut wasn't properly seated in the hole, and a little more nylon around the top of the cradle would help a lot to prevent that.
