I've been in FIRST since 2002 and I've never seen a Van Door motor with a sprocket on it. perhaps you got some special "deluxe edition" of the Kit of Parts?

Anyway, you can machine shaft to fit over the Van Door and Globe motors. For the ND window motor, a plastic coupler is included in the Kit which will couple the gear on the motor to a 5/8" standard ANSI keyed shaft. For the Jideco motor, that is left up to your creativity.

xmarufx, you didn't mention anything about the CIM motors. Did you use those? A very nice gearbox for them was included in the Kit.
