We use versaplanetaries for all of our mechanisms.

We expect to keep learning from the best teams in FRC.

We expect to continue to use the VexPRO product line almost exclusively.

We would not be where we are without these resources.

Wow, we are on the same page, though we use WCP gearboxes half the time, and the Vex ball shifters the other half. This is really what I'm wondering, and why I posed the question. My suspicion is that these products, and the great teams whose ideas these products seek to emulate, are becoming the go-to for many teams. It sounds like the versaplanetaries also are huge for some teams (mine included), and that AndyMark has raised the kit bot to become a much better product, too. Thanks.
