Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
We were just about to buy over $100 in wheels at Andymark. Now I think we'll probably buy those beautiful VersaWheels for a mear $40.
Amazing work guys, I've already started downloading all of the CAD models. Thanks!, Bryan |

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Produt Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
This really is a game changer! As a team with limited resources at our disposal certain designs are much feasible with these new product lines!
Thank you IFI!!! EDIT: Already placed an order! Last edited by BrendanB : 05-12-2012 at 22:13. |

IFI has been nothing but impressive recently. This is great!

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
222 is very excited to see someone finally producing Ball Lock transmissions! Something some of us 222 mentors have been dreaming of for years now!
We spend more than the asking price of IFI's whole transmission on gears alone just to build ours every year for the last eight years going on nine! I see lots of nice products at amazing prices! We can't wait to check out and try out the Ball Lock shifters! Quote:

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
This is amazing. Things just get better each time I go to the site and read everything over again.
One big question I have (and I'm sure more people have), is when we can get some detailed specs on those VersaWheels. I know a lot of teams have been thinking of going Colson lately, but if these provide decent enough competition I think we may see a lot of teams changing their minds. Of course, while this is awesome, AndyMark will always hold a special place in my heart. ![]() |

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
AWESOME work!
Some questions on the ball-lock 3-stage: how do you envision mounting this? From the CAD it looks like there aren't any remaining holes for face mounting, and the flange on the bottom looks like it will flex. EDIT: Also, any COF data on the new wheels/tread? EDIT 2: What is the ratio between the output shaft and the encoder shaft in all three configurations? Arg! So many questions ![]() EDIT 3: (Until I'm directed elsewhere, I'm just going to dump my questions here) Are the broaches on the versahubs all aligned relative to the bolt circle identically? For a 2" wide wheel, it looks like 2 hubs per wheel would be a good idea. Cannot wait for this season to start...even moreso than before! Last edited by Jared Russell : 05-12-2012 at 23:26. |

Will these interface with the previous IFI wheel model?

Your eyes deceive you. The bearings on either side of the housing have different ODs.

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
I firmly believe this product line will be one of those innovations the community will wonder how they did without.
Kudos to the IFI team on their hard work. Given the players involved, I know the passion, effort, time, and dedication that must have gone into this project. This has the potential to change the face of STEM education and competitive robotics as we know it - and it will. Amanda |

Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products
Gamechanger?
I posted in the Hints thread as well, but over on this side I'm seriously wondering why VEX felt the need to release a 3 CIM gearbox. It it because our team is too "traditional" in our use of CIM motors that I'm not seeing any application, provided we're referring to the general rules on motors from the past few years, where a team would need 3 CIMs through one gearbox? |

Interested to see how these new ones hold up... |
