Re: How to Attach Shafts to Motors

CIM motors have the largest shafts of any motors used in FRC (8mm keyed) the vex adapter posted above is an easy way to convert it to 1/2in hex.

If you want to use non-CIM motors, versaplanetary gearboxes are the easiest way to reduce the speed (and increase torque) while also having many more output shaft options (also compatible with CIM motors). Unfortunately kinda pricey. http://www.vexrobotics.com/versaplanetary.html
