More or less in order of importance...

1. More VexPro gear sizes. We have a pretty good variety of 1/2 and 3/8 hex gears, but I'd particularly like to have 18, 22, 28, and 32t gear options. Really, it'd be ideal to have every even gear tooth count from 14 - 70t available... we aren't too far from it, but somehow lacking those few missing ones feels limiting when designing custom shifting gearboxes. It'd also be nice to have a few more sizes of Ball-Shifter gears... 40t, 46t, and 56t especially... although I suppose some might like 64t too. Instead of really only having a few 10t and a 16t pairing to choose from (34-44, 44-54, 44-60, and 50-60), we'd have more 10t splits along with some potentially really nice 12t and 14t ones (40-50, 40-54, 44-56, 46-56, 46-60, 50-64, 54-64). A few more sizes in the 80+ tooth range with VersaKey/Bearing Bore mounting would be icing on the (cheese)cake...

2. Seconding the 'VersaPlanetary Encoder Block' suggestion. Our team uses more motors with encoders than without (I think only 2 of the motors on our 2013-2015 robots didn't have encoders)... having to design in encoders can often be tedious or unnecessarily constrain the design.

3. Longer options for the Ballshifter output shaft (even if it was just the .5" hex shaft and we'd install them separately... perhaps that'd be preferable anyway?)

Really though, I'd like to thank AndyMark and VexPro for what they've been doing over the past few years to supply good options to designers experienced and inexperienced to make it easier to do the 'ordinary' and the extraordinary. The selection of COTS frames, wheels, gearboxes, and the various 'building blocks' like hex and tube shaft, hub adapters, gears, etc. is truly fantastic! And even while the selection has broadened, the prices have become lower too!
