Re: What NEW Vex Accessories Would You Like TO See?

Here are a few ideas I had..

- As someone mentioned before a way to lock the clutch to the motor and also a way to lock the shaft into the clutch

- Possibly a few different motors geared toward different applications, such as high torque low speed, low torque high speed, etc.

- Different brackets / different ways to mount motors & servos. From my expierence with the Vex kit I find the way the motor mounts kind of awkward in different applications. Different brackets that could attach to it would be helpful, or a few different holes on the motor itself for different mounting positions.

- New, Stronger Chain. I recently made a ball launcher with a 3500-4000rpm flywheel. Part of it was chain drive, key word was. When I got it up to full speed and accidently tapped the joystick backwards.. little was left of the chain =)

- As someone mentioned as well, a worm gear system for high torque applications such as arms, etc.

- Potentiometer. Yes I read you can buy one and modify it to fit your use, but I'd rather buy one I wouldn't have to rip apart.

- Keyed PWM extension cables. Readily avalible standard, but fit much nicer keyed.

That's all I can think of offhand right now, but Im sure I'll come up with more later.
