Pardon the stupid question in advance. Almost-lone (and non-engineering) mentor trying to help kids figure stuff out, here...
We have some Vex versaplanetary gearboxes attached to a couple of bag motors to drive two mechanisms. They have 1/2" hex shaft outputs, and we wanted to connect them to a longer shaft that stretches across the body of the robot.
However, hex shaft couplers are totally out of stock at Vex (as is everything else). Is there some other way to connect the shafts, or someplace else to order a shaft coupler?
Feeling really dumb, here. Thanks for any help.
