Always interested in more wheels, can't wait to see what Andy has here.

While we're discussing hex shaft and the like, one product I really would like to see from FRC suppliers are clamping hubs. They're a very simple solution to most of the problems of positioning things on shafts, and allow you to use simple round shaft, to boot.
I agree. Clamping hubs would especially be beneficial for rapid prototyping. For a good deal of FRC applications a single piece shaft collar style clamp would be adequate in terms of torque.
