Yeah I liked that A LOT too. And the drill motor mounts - but we're not getting into that here. We used the coupler parts on our actual robot for the drills and Chias. It is just that there were only two of the aluminum hex parts with the 5/8" keyway bore. So, we had to buy another set of the drill ones to use those parts for the output side of our Chia coupler. We did machine our own steel window motor couplers for fear of breaking the plastic ones but we used them in a awkward situation.
I really did enjoy all of the custom FIRST-specific new kit parts last year.
