Re: Attaching Potentiometers to VEX

A very quick, easy, and reliable way to couple a pot to a shaft of similar size is to heat shrink them together to make a flexible coupling. On a square shaft, it would work superbly because it would get a good hold on it. And on the round pot shaft, it should have enough surface area not to slip. But, you may want to put a small amount fo some sort of adhesive on the pot shaft.
