Re: What COTS parts would you like to see?
In line with the metal CIM versa adapter, it would be great to have a metal dual-motor input for the versaplanetary too. With the new 775 pro, way too much power can be run through the plastic dual-input stage.

Our team ended up using the same internals and CNCing some really simple replacement housings out of aluminum.

And in general, I would like to see less FRC specific COTS assemblies (like the butterfly drive pod from VEX) because (personal opinion) I don't like the direction that that is headed. More part-level COTS parts (not full assemblies of specialized mechanisms). I really like the idea of an assortment of spacers/standoffs (but McMaster is probably the best option).
