How to Attach Shafts to Motors

Hi all,

Rookie mentor here.

We've successfully attached our wheels to the KOP bot, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to attach our motors to shafts for different mechanisms. After a long search of AndyMark, it seems that most motors come with an output shaft of 8mm or 10mm with a keyway. But, how do I easily convert this output to a 1/2" or 3/8" hex shaft for example? Any simple solutions?

I realize this question may be super simplistic for many of the veterans, but I can't figure it out. Any links to products would be very helpful. Thank you!
