Re: VexPro Bearings

Early on in the design process I tried looking up the specs for both Vex Pro and Andymark's 0.5" hex and round bearings to no avail. Still we are using them anyways in our shooter simply because there's not a good alternative.

It would be interesting to get a spec sheet and some data from practical testing through typical FRC uses (shooters, drive trains, high load applications, etc) so teams can make better informed design decisions.
