Hex shaft - Chief Delphi

I think it's important to keep FIRST's most important award as the top point getter [in Fantasy FIRST]. It's help reinforce that the Chairman's award, Engineering Inspiration and Woodie Flowers award are actually important and FIRST is about more than just the robots. - Koko Ed [more]

Why do you want the AM-0160 bearing hub (linked above) for hex shafts?

The AM-0160 bearing hub is designed to be used in a dead axle application (the shaft does not spin, and the sprockets are bolted directly to the wheel).

The only reason to switch to a hex shaft based design is to use them as live axles (the sprocket/gear/wheel all spin together with the shaft, with the bearings in your frame/chassis).
